Beauty Brand Champions Those Who Rise Above Societal Norms and Hustle Hard within their Community
NEW YORK, March 15, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- TWIST, the moisture-focused hair care line dedicated to addressing every individual's curl needs, announces today their new perennial brand initiative to support and amplify women-founded efforts that align with TWIST's brand ethos.
The continual brand action will occur quarterly and aim to partner with women hustlers, tastemakers, and leaders who have worked tirelessly within their community to empower real women. TWIST is proud to recognize organizations that shine a light on everyday women persevering to rise above ideals, societal norms, and expectations in order to embrace their identity with tenacity, confidence, and grit. As a brand that believes in the power of individuality, inclusivity, and positivity, TWIST kicks off this core brand action by pledging a donation this quarter to the non-profit, Black Girls CODE, as their first promised organization to support for the 2021 year.
Founded on the pillars of empowerment and education, Black Girls CODE is dedicated to leveling the playing field for girls of color in STEM. Through their tech education-focused programming and initiatives—designed for girls and young women between the ages of 7 to 17—they aim to inspire youth to become innovators in STEM fields, leaders in their communities, and builders of their own futures. At Black Girls CODE, they are on a mission to change the narrative surrounding racial and gender diversity in STEM and create safe spaces where Black girls can see themselves reflected in tech innovation. They strive to empower girls to go from consumers to creators and use technology as an avenue to be agents of change.
"All of us at TWIST are honored to be partnering with Black Girls CODE, an incredible organization whose long-term goals and ideology perfectly aligns with our ethos and mission at TWIST," states Marina Binichis, EVP of Marketing and Product Development. "Since conception, the TWIST brand represents originality, inclusivity, and accessibility.
