What's the fastest game bird in Europe? This was the question that inspired the founding of Guinness World Records back in 1955. The mission of Center for Black Equity is to promote a multinational LGBTQ+ network dedicated to improving health and wellness opportunities, economic empowerment, and equal rights while promoting individual and collective work, responsibility and self-determination. The mission of Harlem Pride is to empower Harlem's SGL/LGBTQ community (which includes, family, friends, and allies) to improve its physical, mental, and economic health and wellness. In 2010, Harlem Pride's founders saw an opportunity to celebrate not just our Same Gender Loving/LGBTQ community, but its role and contributions to Harlem's rich history. Today, Kaleidoscope Hair Products is one of the fastest growing brands in the haircare industry with major retail partners including CVS, Walgreens, Rite Aid, and more. She launched the brand initially with four products via a series of viral social campaigns that quickly turned her passion project into a beauty sensation and a multi-million-dollar business. In 2014, Jesseca designed the line to address the hair loss her salon clients were experiencing after trying to do their own weaves and color at home. Kaleidoscope Hair Products, created by former hairstylist Jesseca Harris-Dupart, offers the perfect restorative system to keep hair healthy and beautiful from start to finish. Harlem Pride and Center for Black Equity were the perfect partners to bring this experience to life as they share in my same goal to uplift and empower the multicultural LGBTQ+ community."Īfter declaring the GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS title, Jesseca and her new wife, Atlanta hip-hop legend Da Brat, and leaders from Harlem Pride spoke to the impact this donation will have in the community and how embracing their natural hair allows them to proudly live and celebrate their authentic selves. Since launching Kaleidoscope Hair Products, I have always made it my mission to give back to the network that has supported me from day one, so this moment feels especially significant. "I am so honored to celebrate this historic event that has deeply personal roots to my own journey," shared Harris-Dupart. This outstanding accomplishment, in partnership with Center for Black Equity, will distribute 20,000 of Kaleidoscope's best-selling hair products to underserved and marginalized members of the community around New York City. After breaking the record for the largest toy donation in her hometown of New Orleans in 2018, Jesseca set out to tackle her biggest feat yet by giving back to her LGBTQ+ community for Pride Month. Renowned as the first black, openly gay founder in the multicultural hair space, Jesseca has philanthropy and community service ingrained in her DNA.
