The Black-Owned Businesses That Made The YOU Retreat Special

This weekend, Black Love held its first-ever women’s wellness event, the YOU Retreat, designed to encourage healing, self-care, and sisterhood among Black women. It was truly a labor of love as the ladies on the Black Love team often discuss the need for an event focused on self-love and community that has the same transparency our brand is known for. We had to keep it very intimate due to COVID, but we still wanted to show love to our speakers and attendees while also supporting Black women and Black-owned businesses. 

Well, several businesses across the country showed all the way up for Black Love by gifting products for our event, and we just HAD to make sure we shared the love!

Anser

The essential vitamins you need in one easy supplement: Co-founder, actress, and our Black Love family Tia Mowry firmly believes that you are the answer to your own well-being, so she teamed up with one of the leading supplements companies in the market to create Anser women’s multivitamin formula. Each serving contains the full B-complex plus over a dozen essential vitamins and minerals you may be missing in your daily diet.

Brown Girl Jane 

Founded by sisters Malaika Jones and Nia Jones and The YOU Retreat speaker Tai Beauchamp, Brown Girl Jane creates plant-based CBD products, including body butters, facial serums, candles, and oils for both internal and external use. Their goal is that our thoughtfully and painstakingly design plant-based product line will serve as a useful addition to your wellness routine and begin to help heal our collective energy.

Destiny Darcel 

Need some art that radiates Black Girl Magic in your home? Look no further! Created by Artist Destiny Darcel, Destiny’s art is an ode to Black Girling with Friends, and through her art, she details the love and light that Black girls bring to one another. Her art aligned so perfectly with the feeling of The YOU Retreat that we were thrilled to share it while promoting the event.

Miracle Butter Cream 

Mama Sita’s Miracle Buttercream was created to provide relief to eczema and has shown results in skin hydration and hair growth. Sita’s sole purpose is to help empower others with the same love and generosity that she receives through her faith in God.

La Fetê Rosé 

La Fetê is not women-owned but Black-owned with Donae Burston at the helm. He brought the first Black-owned rosé label from France’s Saint-Tropez to the United States, and it’s become a go-to wine for connoisseurs and definitely for the team here at Black Love. Le Fete du Rose is produced in conjunction with the prestigious winemakers from Domaine Bertaud Belieu, the oldest vineyard on the Saint-Tropez peninsula established in 1340 and spanning over 65 hectares.
