Discovery have today announced their partnership on a new, one-of-a-kind program that will afford hairstylists and makeup artists from historically marginalized communities the chance to position themselves for a department head position in entertainment.
The 12 selected from the U.S. and Canada are Denise Baker (hair/LA), Gabby Navarrete (makeup/LA), Charles Zambrano (makeup/NYC), Allison LaCour (makeup/NOLA), Tiffany Daugherty (hair/LA), Kauilani Goodwyn (hair/LA), Amber Hamilton (hair/LA), Se’Anne Simon (makeup/NOLA), Khalieha Cunningham (hair/Canada), Krista Haan (makeup/Canada), Amber Crombach (makeup/Canada) and Marecel Callagan (makeup/Canada).
The new educational program from BBR and WBD, which kicks off this month, will gather the selected beauty professionals virtually for four months, seeing the artists undergo extensive training from Black Beauty Roster, to ensure they are ready to fill the department head role upon its completion.
They’ll have leading MUAH department heads from across the industry as guest speakers and instructors and will also hear from top producers who will speak to what they look for when hiring, providing guidance on resume and portfolio building, networking, understanding key language, team building, negotiating contracts, budgeting, crisis management and more.
