“We understand our responsibility to inspire positive change and
drive greater diversity, equity and inclusion in our industry,”
said Dave Kimbell, CEO, Ulta Beauty. “The MUSE 100 champions those
who have succeeded in making so much beauty possible, those who
represent the future and those who have inspiring stories that
deserve to be shared and supported. We are proud to honor and
uplift these 100 Muses and hope others find inspiration in learning
their stories while celebrating with us.”
The MUSE 100 recognizes a variety of merits including vision,
leadership, and the ability to stimulate change, uphold values and
champion inclusivity. Spanning beauty brand founders, makeup
artists, activists, authors and more, each honoree’s
accomplishments were reviewed and selected by the Ulta Beauty
DE&I Counsel with input from a panel of industry leaders: Ulta
Beauty’s diversity, equity and inclusion advisor Tracee Ellis Ross,
Cosmopolitan’s beauty director Julee Wilson, entrepreneur and
co-founder of Melanin Haircare Whitney White and celebrity stylist
Mecca James Williams.
Each honoree will be awarded with a MUSE 100 grant of $10,000 to
accelerate their continued impact and influence, totaling a
commitment that exceeds $1 million from Ulta Beauty. These funds
are in addition to the $25 million DE&I commitments made by the
company in February of this year.
“I’m excited and consistently encouraged by Ulta Beauty’s
continued commitments,” said Tracee Ellis Ross, DE&I advisor at
Ulta Beauty, CEO and founder of PATTERN Beauty. “The MUSE 100
demonstrates a significant evolution of Ulta Beauty’s mission to
uplift Black voices. By shining a light on these inspiring
changemakers, we empower Black communities and continue the
important work of fostering foundational change.”
