CURLS CEO and founder, Mahisha Dellinger, is using her platform to honor her cousin, Vivian Malone Jones, this Black History Month.
Ms. Jones is being touted as the company "CURLoine." She is in this photo including Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. -- she's the lady on the far right.
From the CURLS press release:
"...Vivian Malone Jones was the University of Alabama's first African American graduate and one of the first two African American students to first attend the University in 1963. After she graduated from UA, Jones joined the Civil Rights division of the U.S. Department of Justice.
Just as Jones broke the mold for African American Women in the education arena, Dellinger is changing the shape for African American women in the entrepreneurial market...Dellinger has grown CURLS into a multi-million dollar company...
One of the founding principles engrained in the CURLS hair care line is acceptance...join the CURLS platform and honor one of their founding curlies, Vivian Malone Jones."
What better time to celebrate one of our Civil Rights sheroes?
