A few weeks ago, we got to talk with Anita Grant (Hello Hair), Salem Berhane (IncluSV Beauty Solutions), Kristina Knox (Arbre), Monique Gallivan (Gyallivant), and Seyi Adaghe (ROUN Beauty) are the five winners of this year's Shea Moisture Dream Fund Grant.
From Unilever brand Shea Moisture, The Dream Fund was created to support Black-owned women-led businesses across Beauty and professional services in Canada, awarding $10,000 to each of the winners.
In part two of our interview with the winners, we sat down for a more personal roundtable discussion. The winners return to the issues we talked about in part 1 with a personal touch, and share their most impactful pieces of advice for new entrepreneurs.
The Winners talk about:
- Their best pieces of advice for new entrepreneurs
- How their childhoods impacted their current businesses
- Their strategies for impacting future generations of black women
- The impact of Eurocentric beauty standards (and how to combat them)
- How they learned to embrace their true selves through their businesses
