CURLS founder and business mogul Mahisha Dellinger is looking to help other Black women build million-dollar businesses. Dellinger has teamed with Beauty By Imagination to launch the “Black Women Making Millions Academy: Mastering the Business, the Money, & the Mindset” to provide education and resources to 25,000 Black woman-owned businesses.

The free two-day academy will feature MBA-style courses, seminars, workshops and mentorship led by Dellinger and key industry leaders.
“Giving back is essential to who I am as a business leader, woman, wife, and mother,” said the mastermind behind her multimillion-dollar natural hair company. “I’ve had so many women reach out to me through email, DM, and text asking for advice so I’m happy to be able to offer this program which will empower over 25,000 businesses – including their employees and families – and open new doors for so many. I have chosen to partner with Beauty by Imagination because they wholeheartedly support my vision to bring more education and resources to black businesses.”
Black women entrepreneurs are the fastest-rising demographic in the U.S., yet still remain the least funded with the least access to resources.
“Black woman-owned businesses are up over 300%, but only 4% of us will make it to millionaire status because of a lack of resources and there’s something wrong with that,” said Dellinger. “I’m excited about this initiative because it’s about opening doors and building our communities.”
The academy will cycle through every weekend from this July to May 2022. For more information or to register for one of the weekends, head on over to blackwomenmakingmillions.com.
