#BlackLivesMatter
#JusticeOrElse #EconomicWithdrawal #SupportBlackBusiness We are the Else and what we do from this point forwards Matters! African American entrepreneur, J.B. Stradford, arrived in Tulsa in 1899. He believed that black people had a better chance of economic progress if they pooled their resources, worked together and supported each other's businesses. The end result that we marvel today was the creation of 21 churches, 21 restaurants, 30 grocery stores,2 movie theaters, A hospital, a bank, libraries, post office, law offices, private airplanes and a bus system in a short period of time! The dollar bounced (circulated) 36-100 before leaving Black Wall Street’s community, which sometimes took up to a YEAR. Today we have over 2 million black owned business and services yet we have no power with the dollar leaving our community in 6 HOURS or less! Revolutionary change with an impact that future generations will feel begins today, right now with over 2 million business and services we can see change in a few years! J.B Stradford was right and left a legacy to prove it! #WeConnect #WeBuyBlack!

Nude lingerie and hosiery for women of colour. A nude bra, skin-tone tights / pantyhose – basics of every woman’s wardrobe. In theory…It’s the grand debate, what do I wear under a white or sheer blouse? What colour hosiery will go with these amazing shoes? Black just isn’t going to work. The simple answer is nude. But my nude isn’t the nude I see in shops. Despite the reality that women of colour have the same needs as all women when it comes to lingerie and hosiery (and spend the same of their hard-earned money), the industry simply doesn’t cater to us. So, I thought, it’s time to rethink the definition of nude. Thus, Nubian Skin was born. It’s an uphill battle, but every revolution starts somewhere. Looking at the makeup industry, it took Eunice W. Johnson to create Fashion Fair Cosmetics in 1973 for black women to really have an adequate choice in finding makeup colours to suit them. In the 1990s and 2000s, mainstream brands began to realise the value of providing to women of colour, and despite the billions we spend on makeup each year, there are still brands that have chosen not to provide an offering for us. So for you beautiful black and brown women, next time you need a nude pair of hold-ups or maybe a nude strapless bra to go under than stunning white halter dress, we’re only a few clicks away. Nubian Skin. A Different Kind of Nude. Empowering women. Embracing our colour.

Mr. Hare, the brand, was conceived at a roadside Tapas bar in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada Mountains, Andalucia, Spain on July 23rd 2008. I was looking at the woven leather shoes of the old gentleman sitting next to me thinking those shoes could be so awesome with a few tweaks, but who could I get to make them? Five minutes later, Mr. Hare, the brand, was born.

Ginger + Liz Colour Collection™ is the popular brand of vegan friendly and toxin-free nail lacquer with a devoted base of style setting customers and celebrity fans. The collection was created in 2010 by Ginger Johnson and Liz Pickett, friends that bonded over all things beauty with a particular love (or what some might call an obsession) for nail lacquer. The ladies also made a strong connection over their personal journeys to becoming vegan and vegetarian and how it positively affected their overall health and beauty regime. Liz and Ginger had an aha moment one afternoon in 2009 while chatting about the lack of opaque cremes, vivid brights and cool nudes with the nail polishes they used. They also discovered that they both had adverse reactions to the harsh chemicals in nail polishes as young adults. That very day the concept of their vegan-friendly and toxin free nail lacquer line was born and nearly one year later, Ginger + Liz Colour Collection was launched.
Ginger + Liz is the original vegan-friendly nail lacquer line made for style setters.
Let's face it, for years women, especially women of color, feared a bold, vibrant lip color. You stood back and watched from the sidelines, because “that color looks great on her, but I would never wear that” or “that color would not look good on me! ” Well in 2011, a Detroit native decided to put all those pitiful fears of lip color to rest; to build a company that would forever change the way you looked at lip color. A company that would introduce women of all shades to experience a lip color that was not only bold in its shade, but also healthy in its intake.
The youthful, fun and sexy concept of a cosmetic bar comes from the desire to synergize alluring bold lip colors with every twentysomething’s favorite social setting. The Lip Bar caters to your individuality. Through our highly pigmented lipsticks, we aim to encourage self -expression through beauty. Everyone isn’t the same—nor should they look it. So try something new, let the Lip Bar take you a place where women are bold and fierce and they like their lip color and their drinks, straight up—no chaser!
