Hi everyone,

My name is Shayla, and I am the proud owner of a Black-owned salon and spa built from the ground up through hard work, faith, and determination. As a woman running my business independently, this journey has required sacrifice, resilience, and courage — but it has been worth every step.Right now, I’m facing a temporary financial setback and need support raising $10,000 to cover essential operating expenses and secure my salon’s location. This space is more than just a business — it’s a safe, welcoming environment where clients feel confident, cared for, and valued.I have poured my heart, time, and personal resources into building something meaningful for my community. I am not giving up — I just need a little help to stay standing during this season.

If you’re able to donate, any amount makes a difference. If you’re unable to give, sharing this fundraiser would mean just as much. Your support helps preserve a Black woman–owned business and a dream that I refuse to let go of.

Thank you for believing in me and in the power of community.

With gratitude,

Shayla
