Empowering LGBTQIA+ Entrepreneurs and Supporting Inclusive Businesses

At a Founders & Funders event that we hosted last week in Los Angeles alongside superwoman founder and CEO of Briogeo Hair Care , Nancy Twine , she shared that in her own journey, she always found that ’Seeing is believing.’ And inspired by this motto, we are honored to share the achievements of LGBTQIA+ owned businesses that highlight that contribute to the fabric of our economy and society in a way that lifts us all up.

We’ve rounded up a couple of 10th House member organizations who are moving mountains and paving the way to a more inclusive society by promoting equality in products and advocating for LGBTQIA+ mental wellbeing.

LGBTQIA+ Business Spotlight

Liberate Studio | Olivia Bowser built a purpose-driven interactive platform that is normalizing well-being in the workplace by creating an inclusive and friendly place for all human beings to work on their mental fitness.

Me-est Me | Shana Rehwald ?created the seminal journal to provide a gentle reminder of the importance of reconnecting with yourself. Since 2021, it has helped thousands build self-awareness, quiet the noise of the world, and embrace short-term discomfort to move toward their truest self.

House of Dear | House of Dear is a gender-neutral, cruelty and chemical-free hair product brand founded by Holly Dear. It’s the next generation of “clean hair” resurrecting old formulas that work on all hair types void of gender and hair stereotypes.

Liberation-Based Therapy | Tanisha Christie, MA, LCSW (LCSW) started her psychotherapeutic group practice in 2021 with the mission to support mental health and wellness through the lens of liberation-based healing practices.

By consciously choosing to shop and support these businesses built by members of the 10th House community and doing so with the countless other LGBTQIA+ owned businesses, we can foster a more inclusive and supportive commerce landscape.??
