| As the beauty dealscape begins to pick up pace again — yesterday WWD broke the news that L’Oréal will acquire Color Wow — the picture for Black founders and entrepreneurs is bleak. Five years after the murder of George Floyd and amidst federal rollbacks of DEI initiatives, beauty and fashion market editor James Manso reports that many are finding it increasingly difficult to raise capital, and that misperceptions, such as their brands are only for Black and brown consumers, continue to persist.
