Ciara just announced the results of a major collaboration with Meta (formerly Facebook) to “elevate Black-owned small businesses”–and we couldn’t be more excited for it!
The Grammy winner and entrepreneur just announced via release a partnership with Meta Elevate to support ten Black-owned companies. The business, from online hair styling tool retailer The Coil to stationers Round House Paper, were all nominated by the singer and will receive marketing training and other support, including $100,000 in ad credits and creative support, from Meta.
Ciara, who is CEO of her own Beauty Marks Entertainment, said of the partnership, “The ten businesses I’ve nominated are dear to me because they embody determination, community, empathy, and empowerment.”
“The success of Black-owned small businesses is key to wealth building in our community, which is why connecting Black owners to these opportunities is so important to me,” she continued.
Last fall, the singer and Meta’ Chief Operation Officer Sheryl Sandberg made a call for Black and Women-owned small businesses to apply. The final list of business that will receive the dedicated support from Meta are as follows: Round House Paper, Nicole Grace Collection, The Coil Brush, Boss Branding on a Budget, Aliyah Kamala Enterprises Consulting Agency, The Self Care Suite, Manifest It, Sis, For Our Daughters Beauty, Kyra’s Shea Medleys and Zion’s Greek Boutique.
We can’t wait to see what they can do with this support!
