Black culture + creativity move the world. They have created viral trends, sustained some of our nation’s largest social movements, and inspired innovation in fashion, beauty, tech, wellness, + more.
Black excellence isn’t new; it’s historic. To celebrate Black History Month, we'll highlight contributions from Black creatives, advocates, artists, and athletes, so watch this space.

Read up on how Trans Women of Color Were + Are Leaders in the Fight for Human Rights… and dive into beauty and self-love by reading How Black Latinas Learned to Love the Skin They’re In.
