With the evolution of social media, the beauty and makeup scene has become one of the most lucrative and fast-growing business ventures in 2018. Despite this tremendous growth, there has been a lot of discussion about how black entrepreneurs and brand influencers in this sector are being sidelined.

One of these hard workers is Supa Cent (real name Raynell Steward), a New Orleans African American social media sensation who recently launched her makeup line.
