Afro Sheen says #IDoWhatIDo in new video campaign.
Afro Sheen offers definition, shine and style.
The #IDoWhatIDo digital campaign, focuses on the effortless style and authenticity of the Black community. Known for pushing the boundaries, Afro Sheen products are designed for the everyday trendsetters and culture creators who stamp their mark of individuality on everything they touch. This campaign aims to highlight the creative community of Afro Sheen consumers who stand out in their own way, whether fro'd, braided up, or twisted out. Afro Sheen will work with a band of creators to share their personal style stories, with a focus on strengthening advocacy among men and empowered Gen-Z consumers. The campaign urges people of all curls, coils, and kinks to be unapologetically themselves and live the #IDoWhatIDo mantra: "I follow my own wave. I define my own edge. I OWN MY SHINE. I DO WHAT I DO. What do you do?"
Also debuting this month is The Afro Sheen X Black Girl Ventures Pitch Competition. A groundbreaking virtual event designed to uplift women of color in their entrepreneurial endeavors. Black Girl Ventures creates access to capital, capacity, and community for Black/Brown women-identifying founders.

Participants will deliver their pitches to a panel of high-profile judges as well as supporters across the United States who will be able to tune in, submit votes, and make donations for their favorite contestants.
