STAMFORD, Conn. — Following this weekend’s Girls Leading Our World (GLOW) Global Summit, Cantu Beauty and global non-profit Women Empowering Nations (WEN) have announced the 12 young women who have been awarded a spot in the Cantu GLOW Global Fellowship.
The Cantu GLOW Global Fellowship is a paid, four-month hands-on experience in the beauty industry, which will conclude with a capstone and group travel seminar in Accra, Ghana this November. During this fellowship, each young woman will be immersed in four areas within the beauty industry — consumer, concept, commercial, and campaign — allowing them to experience a beauty campaign from concept to shelf.
Cantu Beauty is committed to supporting the next generation of female leaders by providing these 12 fellows with resources for professional advancement. The twelve young women were selected from various counties, including the U.S., Nigeria, France, South Africa, Ghana, and the United Kingdom. This news accompanies Cantu’s additional investments to provide career opportunities to facilitate an upward trajectory for the next generation, particularly Black and brown women.
