Reviewed: Why Fashion Girls Love EveryStylishGirl
Welcome to our newest editorial initiative, Who What Wear Spotlight, where we'll be using our editorial platform, social following, and ad inventory to turn the spotlight on small businesses that need our support now more than ever. Each week, we'll be highlighting a new fashion or beauty company. If you own a small brand and would like to be considered for the program, please apply here.
Not only is Nana Agyemang the social editor of New York magazine's The Cut, but she's also the CEO and founder of a fashion and media platform that is working from the ground up to amplify Black and Brown women within the industries. From highlighting successful women of color in fashion and journalism to hosting programs that train and mentor young women hoping to break into the industries, EveryStylishGirl is creating space in the media world for marginalized voices that have been silenced and left out of positions of power.
"My past experiences led me to become a change-maker, and that is why I decided to create a media training program for recent graduates seeking placements at media companies," Agyemang says of why she started EveryStylishGirl in 2016 and grew it into a platform that offers training programs for college-age women. It is her mission that other women of color will not be alone in their positions at prominent publications as she was while working at places like The New York Times, BBC News, and Elle. And the focus isn't just on ensuring better representation within the industries but also on making sure that Black and Brown women are given credit and paid for their contributions to fashion, beauty, and writing.
