The day continues with hair-care trivia and a panel discussion exploring Black women and the beauty industry, including perspectives on entrepreneurship, representation, innovation, and the evolving business of Black beauty.
The panel will feature the founder of KAZMALEJE, joining us as a panelist and event sponsor alongside ebene natural.
