In the dynamic landscape of business, organizations that focus on empowerment and inclusivity play a pivotal role in shaping a more diverse future. The New Voices Foundation stands out as a beacon of support for emerging businesses owned by women of color, providing essential financial, educational and mentorship resources. We are proud to collaborate with the New Voices Foundation, contributing to its mission and witnessing the transformative impact it has on the retail landscape.

At the heart of New Voices Foundation’s mission is the commitment to empower and uplift women of color in business. This resonates with our team, and we are grateful for the opportunity to collaborate with them. New Voices was established by the founders of SheaMoisture, an incredible brand our team has worked with for years engaging with them as they journey towards success and growth in the competitive retail sector. 

Our team member, Hana, has been an integral part of this collaboration, bringing her passion and dedication to every interaction with the New Voices Foundation. Hana’s experience working closely with the organization has been nothing short of inspiring. “I was so thrilled to see the establishment of the New Voices Foundation and feel strongly about their mission to make retail more equitable for female founders of color,” she said. 

Hana has participated in and coordinated several webinars alongside the New Voices team to connect with these business owners. She reflects on these webinars, stating, “We are proud to be a trusted resource for the New Voices community.” These webinars serve as a platform to amplify the voices of brand founders, who share their unique experiences in the world of retail. It is a space where insights are shared, connections are forged and the collective strength of women-led businesses is celebrated.

Hana has enjoyed her time working with several retailers: “I was fortunate enough to work with the brand SheaMoisture on their Target business and saw how they transformed the textured hair space in mass retail. It was such an incredible experience, and I learned so much from my time working with their team,” she added.

Our partnership with the New Voices Foundation is not just a collaboration; it is a shared commitment to fostering a more inclusive and empowering business environment. The impact of its work goes far beyond the bottom line, reaching into the minds of women of color who dare to dream and aspire to lead. We are honored to be a part of this transformative journey and look forward to continuing our collective efforts in building a more diverse and inclusive future.
