The true beauty of Black History Month lies is the multitude of ways that our people have advanced and cultivated culture over time. Scientists, entrepreneurs, creators—we do it all.
Launching on February 3rd, 2022 and every Thursday for the remainder of the month, Black-owned beauty brand Buttah Skin is illuminating the richness of Black changemakers through an exciting limited series called "Beyond the Surface."
Founder of Buttah Skin Dorion Renaud has tapped Now with Natalie creator Natalie Manuel Lee to lead conversations for the series as it explores and affirms the tenacious, innovative mentality of Black creatives. “I’m proud to have worked with Natalie on developing a series that celebrates Black culture,” Renaud says of the new initiative. “It’s important for me to continue to uplift our voices and showcase the beauty behind our stories, especially during Black History Month, and in the current times in which we’re living.”
