We've reach $115,400 and have less thak 10 our left to reach out goal of $200K! With less than 10 hours left in our Wefunder campaign, I want to express my deepest gratitude to everyone who has joined us on this transformative journey. 🙏 Starting Hanahana Beauty, I never imagined venturing beyond bootstrapping, but dreaming bigger meant embracing new paths. Here’s why we opened our raise to you, our community: 👩🎓 Black women are the most educated group by graduate degrees yet receive less than 0.01% of venture capital. 💼 Black women own 36% of all Black-owned businesses. 💵 Despite these stats, Black female founders face significant revenue gaps. This isn’t just about funding; it’s about breaking barriers and changing narratives. 🚀 Your support empowers us to continue making an impactful difference. There’s still time to invest and be part of our story. https://lnkd.in/g9KJWbfu #HanahanaBeauty #InvestInInclusion #FinalHours 🕒💖
