Eat well, travel often, dress to inspire.
This is the philosophy behind Brooklyn-based,
women's wear brand, Fe Noel,
founded by Felisha Noel.
At the age of 19,
Felisha opened a brick and mortar boutique
for vintage lovers and trendsetters
in Brooklyn, New York.
And it was then that she real her passion
for design and style,
and thus birthed her namesake clothing and lifestyle
women's brand, Fe Noel.
The Fe Noel brand is deeply influenced
by Felisha's Grenadian heritage,
showcasing vibrant colors,
bold, unique prints,
and lovely silhouettes.
Her collections showcase detail
in the craftsmanship of each garment
to be sleek, chic, and glamorous
for any woman who dawns a Fe Noel ensemble.
Can we say gorgeous and simply beautiful?
With just one glance at the brand's Instagram feed,
you can honestly say that Felisha Noel's mission
to create classic, yet vibrant pieces,
to make any woman feel regal and feminine
has been accomplished.
All hail to Fe Noel
for creating a dynamic brand
in the fashion design space
that celebrates all women.
At only 32 years old,
trailblazing beauty preneur, Sharon Chuter,
founder, CEO, and creative director of Uoma Beauty,
is re-imagining the standard definition of beauty
with the mission to expand inclusivity and diversity
in the world of beauty.
Nigerian born Sharon Chuter
created Uoma Beauty in 2019,
a makeup brand that's vegan,
cruelty free, and non-toxic.
Uoma prides itself on being inclusive and Black-owned.
Sharon's constant push for inclusivity
extends beyond foundation shades and lip gloss.
The founder committed to inclusivity
within the walls of her company,
from who she employs,
to how her company can forge a pathway
to building financial wealth
within marginalized communities.
Sharon realized beauty is not one-sided,
so it was important to create a product that allows women
to fall in love with themselves, unapologetically.
We thank Sharon for championing a beauty brand
that seeks to empower women
through self care, inside and a out.
Felicia Leatherwood is the premier natural hair stylist
for many of our favorite celebs.

A large part of Leatherwood's success in the beauty industry

creating styles that brought more mainstream attention

but that her styling work
is an extension of her love for hair.
Felicia Leatherwood has repped hard for natural hair culture
and stands for every strand she's blessed with her gift.
From showing us natural hair is fly hair,
creating tools, and educating us on its care,
Felicia is giving us life.
