Since 2001, Jamyla Bennu, C’97, has been revolutionizing hair care for natural, textured hair—long before “natural hair” became a movement. From crafting moisture-rich products in her own kitchen to launching her first website in 2003, she’s grown Oyin Handmade into an award-winning beauty brand rooted in Baltimore and celebrated for its commitment to quality and community. Most recently, oyinhandmade partnered with The Hotel Revival Baltimore to expand access to equitable hair care for curly hair. Her vision proves that innovation, authenticity, and community impact go hand in hand. #BlackBusinessMonth
