Influencing Change: Closing the Pay Gap for Black Creators in Beauty

Black women have long shaped beauty standards, yet they face significant inequities within the beauty industry, often being underpaid and underappreciated compared to their non-Black counterparts. Despite their role in driving trends and cultivating engaged communities, Black influencers are consistently offered lower pay and fewer opportunities, exposing a stark pay gap rooted in broader systemic issues of racism and sexism.
