I’m back with another @ebonymagazine Beauty & Grooming Awards, and this year, I really leaned into what it means to test beauty in real life. I tapped our staff and even their kids to put hundreds of products through the kind of routines that actually matter. Not a one-time swipe or a quick try, but daily use, long days, early mornings, and everything in between.

And to kick it all off, I brought that same spirit to Brooklyn. For the 2026 Beauty and Grooming Awards kickoff, EBONY did what felt obvious and overdue. We took it back to where it all begins and dropped the salon right in the middle of Brooklyn. Not as nostalgia, but as infrastructure. A reminder that Black beauty has always been built in community, passed hand to hand, chair to chair. From the door, it felt like a function, with cocktails inspired by beauty rituals and a room that moved like a real salon floor, full of conversation, connection, and culture.

After months of testing, vetting, and rotating products through our routines, I can confidently say the 2026 EBONY Beauty & Grooming Awards spotlight the ones that actually deliver. Across skincare, haircare, makeup, fragrance, grooming, tools, kids, and clean beauty, every winner earned its place. The focus was simple: what truly works for melanin-rich skin and how we actually live. s/o to team @ebonymagazine

A celebration of Black Women. 🖤

Being a woman of influence is about impact—lifting others, breaking barriers, and paving the way for those who come next. It’s about using our voices to create change and open doors where none existed. And at @ebonymagazine we are doing just that.
 
This award is a celebration of being seen and an acknowledgement that the work is connecting. It’s a celebration of purpose and sisterhood. May we continue to uplift and empower one another—because when women rise, we all rise.
 
Thank you to the @usblackchambers for this incredible incredible honor. I share this with my phenomenal and talented team.
