Danika Berry, with over two decades of representing black beauty entrepreneurs and brands, and the founder of the upcycled body care and wellness line Glam Body, leads the initiative. “The debut of this new annual observance signifies a watershed moment for the beauty industry,” states Berry. “It acts as a catalyst for productive discussions and concrete steps toward crafting a fair and equitable entrepreneurial landscape in beauty.”
A recent McKinsey & Company study underscores a troubling gap: Despite black consumers representing 11.1% of total spending in the beauty sector, black-owned brands generate only 2.5% of the industry’s overall revenue. National Black Beauty Founders Day, initiated by both Glam Body and Danika Berry, aims to confront and rectify this inequality by championing fair representation and opportunities.
