For Black History Month, Ulta Beauty wanted to pass the mic to one of their original muses, Jasmine Mans. 

Jasmine Mans is the voice of the company’s MUSE anthem film and an honouree in their MUSE 100.

In their continual support of the muses shaping, influencing and changing the beauty landscape, she was given creative freedom to conceptualise a sequel to the powerful manifesto. 

In her words, she created an Ode to Black Beauty, a 1-minute poem dedicated to the beauty of the Black community. In collaboration with McCann, Mans and her team of Black creatives shot a social video of her performing the piece. The film will be featured throughout February across various owned and paid channels.
