Dark & Lovely recently hosted its first-ever Building Beautiful Futures Mentoring Masterclass: A Black Girl's Guide to Mentorship.
As part of the event, Dark & Lovely's Brand ambassador, actress, producer and "artivist," Storm Reid discussed the power of mentorship and offered key advice and takeaways for young Black women navigating their academic and career journeys.
The virtual event was the brand's first in the Building Beautiful Futures Mentorship Masterclass series. It was hosted by Symone Sanders, author, advocate and host of upcoming show, "Symone" on MSNBC and MSNBC's streaming platform, Peacock.
"Throughout my life, I have been lucky enough to have mentors that have guided me and been a consistently present support to help me get to where I am today," said Storm Reid. "I'm so excited to join Dark & Lovely in hosting this event to help share the importance and ability to create a shared community and support system for all of our journeys, especially as young Black females."
The Masterclass also featured NAACP Chief Strategy Officer, Yumeka Rushing, and a musical set by DJ Kiss.
The online event was free and open to everyone.
