The Sparkle Project
Minority women are underrepresented in Film, Fashion & Corporate. Minority women represent under 1% of executive roles. If you take a walk downtown during the typical work week (before Covid) you would seldom see a black woman amongst the crowd of working individuals.
Black women represent the lowest percentage of executive positions held in corporations nationally. Instagram accounts like @pullupforchange, list major companies and industries that lack representation. Leading roles are difficult to acquire in the film industries. Opportunities are limited in the Fashion world.
Ana Winter editor of Vogue since 1988 stated,"Vogue has not found enough ways to elevate and give space to Black editors, writers, photographers, designers and other creators." Many industries are embarking on the trend by making diversity statements but the real issue has not been brought to light.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, minority women faced the highest rates of unemployment and continue to struggle to maintain their livelihoods. Our goal is to establish innovation centers in underserved areas, empowering women to bring their projects from concept to completion. By partnering with industry professionals, we aim to create more job opportunities for minority women, fostering a community of innovation and growth.

The Glam fund
For years, minority women have faced trauma in the workplace. Many work tirelessly to avoid being stereotyped, only to be treated as stereotypes.
Minority women possess a wealth of talents that often go unrecognized due to a lack of opportunities.
We aim to help women achieve their dreams by dismantling systemic barriers that hinder their success.
Our goal is to provide funding and opportunities to help women thrive in the corporate, fashion, and film industries. To address workplace inequities, we will offer legal support and resources.
The Glam Fund is dedicated to empowering minority women by providing unwavering support, impactful funding, equal opportunities, and a wealth of resources. We're here to ensure their voices are heard, their presence is seen, and their dreams are realized, amplifying their impact in every endeavor.

The glitter Walk
The Glitter Walk supports women in the film, corporate, and creative industries. For decades, minority women have faced discrimination. The challenges they experience in the workplace often remain unaddressed, preventing them from being their authentic selves and resulting in job insecurity.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, minority women experienced the highest rates of unemployment. Despite being highly educated, they are the least paid and hold a small percentage of executive titles.
Our goal is to create programs that empower women to achieve their goals from start to finish by providing comprehensive funding, training, and certifications. Minority women often lack access to seed funding and capital due to limited knowledge and selection opportunities.
