    At MYAVANA we’re honored to celebrate #Juneteenth by announcing the opening of our very first retail store in UGANDA 🇺🇬 We are returning to the Motherland to liberate our African women and empower them to be their best self! ✨ Thank you to each and every one of you for being a part of the MYAVANA journey! Special thank you to Alex Tumushabe, who will be leading operations at MYAVANA Uganda 🌍 More news to come from the Summit which was so magical! 🙌🏽🦄 When I started ministry work in Uganda, I saw a need for better haircare products for African women after getting so many questions about my hair. MYAVANA's retail store will distribute hair care products from our recommendation system that are most compatible with African Hair IDs. Thank you to Catapult Global and Deborah Lee Barrett for showing me how my work in entrepreneurship can be used in ministry and open up new economic opportunity!

    So happy to continue our social impact initiatives with the City of Atlanta through the Mayor’s Scholarship Fund and the ATL Year of the Youth Initiative! 🙌🏽 We were a pioneering sponsor for the Dream ATL Event which raised $225,000 in scholarship funds! We also partnered for the 2024 Summer Youth Employment Program with Time 2 Give led by Laron A. Walker to provide STEM Education through an AR Camp where students learned all about augmented reality through beauty projects catering to every sector of the MYAVANA Hair & Beauty Network, including Brands, Salons, Retailers and created virtual avatars in partnership with Memik and Red Kulture! 📲👩🏽💻👨🏾💻 Participants presented their final projects at Morehouse College and I couldn’t be more proud! I’ve always wanted my business to be able to give back to my city in a meaningful way so this is all a dream come true. Kudos to Mayor Andre Dickens for boldly leading the charge of making Atlanta the best place to raise a child! Turning dreams into reality 💡 Forever I Love Atlanta ❤️ #YouthEmpowerment #Innovation #STEMHairCare #CommunityTransformation #ATLYearOfTheYouth #SocialImpact #BlackExcellence #FILA
