Meet The Founder
Monique Little
Founder & CEO · Atlanta, GA
BootstrappedKnown For
Built a skincare brand anchored entirely in celebrating Blackness: not fixing it. Melanin Queen's branding is a direct challenge to every product that ever used 'brighten' as a euphemism.
The Story
Monique Little started Melanin Queen to create a brand that spoke directly to women of color without hedging, without whitewashing, and without the performative inclusivity that had come to define mainstream beauty. The brand's voice is its founder's: direct, celebratory, and unapologetically melanin-forward.
