A hub for entrepreneurs
HellaBlack founders Layla Nielson, Natalie Robinson and Love-leigh Trimiew understand the importance of legacy. They are the daughters of Ethiopian immigrant twin sisters who owned the legendary Twins Jazz club in Washington, D.C. Growing up in a household of passionate female entrepreneurs ignited their relentless pursuit to empower other entrepreneurs to ultimately strengthen Black families. “I want companies, families and organizations to thrive in our community and produce generational wealth,” says HellaBlack founder, Love-Leigh Trimiew.
Above all, HellaBlack is an enterprise leading a movement that recognizes, respects and reinvests in Black communities with each purchase. Two percent of all platform sales are given to organizations that share the mission of strengthening local economies and generating unprecedented wealth within underserved Black communities. The giveback also goes beyond monetary investments. The HellaRich Business Education Resource Hub propels Black business owners to greater levels of excellence and efficiency. Designed by industry experts, “The Hub” comprises a curated curriculum, tools and resources with topics ranging from social media management, customer service and retention, product and service pricing strategies, shipping essentials and much more. “An effective digital marketing strategy can open up new revenue streams. The hub is our community’s secret weapon to capturing market share and scaling,” says Layla Nielsen, co-founder and CMO.
