Stylish, not afraid to wear a strong makeup look. An extremely talented runway glam artist. They specialize in bold experimental looks that highlight Black skin and culture through an intentional and well-researched lens. They faced pushback at first by entering a “female” profession but disrupting social codes is their calling. They are dedicated to putting Black women and men in the spotlight through their creations. Their role is to be the voice of a new generation that is diverse and inclusive. Real makeup artist skills a plus - please note in submission.

Her passion for photojournalism began when she first heard of Melba Toliver, a trailblazing woman from the same town who was the first African American to anchor a network newscast. She began to take photos of Black women in her town and gather their stories in poem form. She took her passion to New York and continued her photo/poetry journalism style there. Inspired by the younger generation, she currently focuses on capturing the stories of younger Black artists that inspire her and applying their process to her own.

She is the youngest owner of a Black beauty supply store, an oasis and safe haven. Owning her own store is a huge step in reclaiming Black business and resolidifying the sanctity of the Black beauty supply store.

Professional karateka. She has been practicing karate since she was a child when she'd follow her brothers to class. Despite it being a male-dominated sport and usually being the only Black person in the dojo, she has no plans to stop training. Her plan is to continue to pass the form on to younger generations and inspire girls to train. Seeking strong karate skills - please note in submission. Kata Saifa ability a plus.

Unassuming cowgirl in her twenties. Very much a badass but not afraid to embrace her feminine side. West African born, American raised, she makes a point to always ride in kente cloth, embracing both sides of her story and proving time and time again that being a “cowgirl” is a lifestyle, not a look. Seeking talent who can ride horseback - please note horseback skills in submission. Ability to twirl lasso a plus.
