What Is Pull Up For Change?
Pull Up For Change is a grassroots effort to bring transparency, accountability, and Black representation to the beauty industry. Founded in June 2020 by Sharon Chuter, activist and CEO of UOMA Beauty, Pull Up For Change continues to work to advance the economic wellbeing of Black people all over the world. As a key component of the campaign, beauty brands are challenged to participate through hiring practices—specifically for corporate roles—and through other key initiatives that support the Black community.
What Is The Make It Black Collaboration?
Make It Black is an initiative developed by Pull Up For Change to create meaningful conversations around the definition of and society’s sentiment towards the word Black. The program is partnering with leading brands to showcase the beauty of Black through exclusive product launches. The products are a vehicle to raise money to support the economic development of Black founders to foster more Black-owned businesses and in turn, increase the rates of Black employment.
