Support for BIPOC small businesses (from organizations like the Fifteen Percent Pledge) has become en vogue, and this is not just a passing fad. The recognition is well deserved as many minority business owners feel like they have had to work twice as hard for access to funding and to compete in a marketplace stitched together by built-in privilege.
Enter LumiBloom – a BIPOC owned and CBD-powered beauty and wellness brand beating the odds.
Not many 36-year-olds can say that they competed in the Olympic trials and own a wellness brand, but powerhouse athlete, entrepreneur and new mom, MacKenzie McClain Hill can. At just 17, this Long Beach, California native placed 3rd at the 90 country-strong World Youth Games. MacKenzie also left an indelible mark at UCLA, standing out as a member of the 2004 NCAA Championship Women’s Track and Field team, running the 100m and 400m hurdles, and becoming a 4-time Academic All-American.

Equally as important to this proud, black business owner was fostering a sense of community, and a space where a diversity of women could indulge in uniquely crafted, fashionable and healthy offerings while uplifting themselves and each other.
