Young entrepreneur Zoe Oli, founder of Beautiful Curly Me, received a surprise check to help support her doll line, which is built around confidence, representation, and positive self-image for Black and brown girls. The brand started when she was a child and has since grown into a popular toy and book line, with a mission that includes donating a doll for every one sold.

Why it stands out

Beautiful Curly Me has already been recognized for breaking ground, including becoming the youngest entrepreneur with a toy line in Target. The surprise funding adds another boost to a business that Zoe and her mother have grown into a six-figure brand focused on empowerment and inclusion
