'This is not a black fight, this is everybody’s fight,' said Sharon Chuter, founder and ceo of UomaBeauty.
Chuter, a Nigerian-born beauty veteran and the chief executive officer and founder of cosmetics company Uoma Beauty, has created a grassroots campaign, the goal of which is to raise awareness of the lack of black employees — especially those in leadership roles — at American corporations.
Pull Up for Change launches its #PullUpOrShutUp campaign on social media today, June 3. The campaign calls for any and all companies who have shared statements of solidarity with or donations to the Black Lives Matter movement to publicly reveal the percentage of black people they employ and further specify the number of black employees in leadership positions.
Chuter has been an active participant in the Los Angeles protests. Over the weekend, she was shot twice with blank bullets, she said.
