About us

A platform built so our businesses can thrive.

Beautifully Owned by Us is a nonprofit dedicated to empowering and uplifting underrepresented beauty and health businesses. Founded in 2020, we provide educational resources, financial support, and community connections so these businesses have a sustainable platform to grow.

We exist for the stylists, estheticians, wellness practitioners, and founders who have always had the talent and never had the runway. We are here to change that.

Education

Workshops and training that build real business skills.

Advocacy

A louder voice for communities the industry overlooks.

Community

A network that holds you up, not just an audience.

Mission
