Mielle Organics Launches $1M #MoreThanAStrand Campaign For Black Woman-Owned Businesses
The campaign also includes scholarships for entrepreneurship education.
Black-owned haircare brand Mielle Organics has just launched a $1M campaign to support Black woman-owned beauty salons and barbershops across the globe impacted by the recent riots and global COVID-19 pandemic.
The More Than A Strand global beauty campaign includes financial and educational components to help entrepreneurs rebuild, sustain and advance their businesses. This includes direct funds to help address reopening and safety expenses in the midst of COVID-19, as well as assist new businesses with start-up costs, certifications, tools, and other needs.
In addition, Mielle Organics has partnered with Rutgers University and Newark Business Hub Education to create the NBH Professional Online Global Entrepreneurship Certificate Program. The partnership will provide 60 full scholarships to cover program costs and cover such courses as “Setting Up a Business,” “Generating Revenue,” and “Marketing and Financial Management.
“Empowering women with the tools of education and entrepreneurship is at the core of Mielle Organics’ DNA,” said Monique Rodriquez, Mielle Organics founder in a recent press release. “The goal of the #MoreThanAStrand campaign is to not only bridge the gap between women and young girls across the tri-continents of North America, the Caribbean, and Africa through their hair, but to empower those women to cultivate economic prosperity within their communities.”
