Dunnie Onasanya, Winnie Monu, Nikki Billie Jean and More Toast The First Afro Beauty Brunch in the DMV

Last week, Dunnie O and Joon Africa came together to celebrate beauty and meaningful discourse, highlighting the voices and experiences of female beauty and fashion entrepreneurs . An intimate crowd gathered at Tyson’s Corner Centre in Virginia for the first  Afro Beauty Brunch. Among those who came out to support the new brunch series and Dunnie were Rita Oluchi Obi, founder of Corporate Black Girl 101, Winnie Monu, founder of Igbo Girl Brunch and fashion stylist Ivy Turkson of Phasod Styles—all dressed in various ankara prints for the event.

Themed “NEW Year, BEST Me!” the event featured a brief panel discussion, live demos, shopping and great food and drinks had guests buzzing well into the evening.
