A Celebration of Power, Progress, and Purpose

When Black Women Lead, the World Moves

Under the gilded ceilings of Madam C.J. Walker's Villa Lewaro, ESSENCE and L'Oréal Groupe came together for the 2025 ESSENCE Black Women in Business Luncheon presented by L'Oréal Groupe, an unforgettable gathering that celebrated the vision, brilliance, and impact of Black women shaping the future of business and beauty. From trailblazing honorees like Ursula Burns and Valeisha Butterfield to inspiring words from Rahquel Purcell, Chief Transformation Officer, North America at L'Oréal Groupe, the afternoon honored legacy while affirming the power of what's next. Couldn't join us in person? Experience every powerful moment from the luncheon on ESSENCE's YouTube channel. This was more than a celebration, it was a statement of solidarity, excellence, and progress, powered by L'Oréal Groupe.
