NEW #SAVETHESALON FUND TO RAISE $2 MILLION FOR BLACK HAIRSTYLISTS
Nationwide (BlackNews.com) — The COVID-19 pandemic has been devastating to Black communities across the country, and the salons and barbershops at the center of these communities are suffering in unprecedented ways.
In order to help the stylist community stay afloat during these difficult times, Mayvenn, a Black-owned supplier and distributor of high quality beauty products, has launched their #SaveTheSalon campaign to raise money to provide $500 for stylists across the country via their GoFundMe page.
Mayvenn’s #SaveTheSalon campaign plans to raise at least $2M to provide $500 for 4,000 of their stylists.
Mayvenn is exploring not only how to support stylists in this difficult moment, but to be a better partner in the long term,” says Diishan Imira, CEO and Founder of Mayvenn
In support of this goal, Mayvenn has garnered backing from Ben and Felicia Horowitz, Jack Dorsey’s #startsmall (the chief executive of Twitter and Square), Libra/the Pritzker Family, and The Charles and Lynn Schusterman Family Foundation.
Using technology, Mayvenn helps to boost stylists’ incomes by connecting them with new clients and helping them sell products.
