<div>Hi, I’m Brooke Barrett—founder of Oasis Beauty Company, and a proud, Black, disabled woman entrepreneur. In 2019, my life changed forever when I was struck by a car and left a quadriplegic and legally blind. I was a hairstylist at 22 with big dreams, but after eight months of hospitals and rehab, I had to relearn everything—life, faith, and purpose.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>That’s when Oasis Beauty Company was born: a fully inclusive and disability-friendly beauty salon created by someone who knows what it feels like to be overlooked in traditional spaces.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>

</div>
<div>Oasis Beauty Company is more than just a salon. It’s a safe haven—a space where wheelchair users, the blind and low vision community, seniors, and people with other disabilities can feel beautiful, seen, and celebrated. From wheelchair-accessible shampoo bowls and customized styling stations, to staff trained in disability sensitivity and empathy, everything is designed with love, purpose, and dignity in mind.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>With your support, we’ll make history in Charlotte, NC as one of the first salons in the Southeast fully dedicated to accessibility and beauty equity.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Your donation will help us:
</div>
<div>• Fund construction for ADA-accessible spaces
</div>
<div>• Purchase adaptive salon equipment
</div>
<div>• Provide disability inclusion training for staff
</div>
<div>• Launch transportation support for clients in need
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Our initial fundraising goal is $10,000, but our stretch goal is $25,000 to fully build out the dream.

<div>I believe beauty should be for every body. Thank you for helping me prove that accessibility is beautiful—and that everyone deserves to be pampered, regardless of ability.
</div>

</div>
<div>Let’s build this together.
