CNK Spotlight: Female Owned Businesses to Watch This Month
At CNKDaily, we are not only striving to build a community of strong women. We are also working to empower women to support each other through entrepreneurship and positive impact. While we are connected through a common bond of sneakHER style, there are so many ladies who are building their own brands from beauty to apparel to business services.
On our CNK projects, we pride ourselves on serving as a voice in sneakHER culture but also providing opportunities to female creatives and business owners. The boss babes are truly brand architects who know what it takes to build, while inspiring us in the process. During Black History Month, we are taking our CNK spotlight to introduce some of the brands we are loving, shopping, and saluting.
You may know that we love some Helecia (AKA @iknowlee). One of the most stylish ladies in the sneakHER game recently started a collection that is meant to cultivate creativity and keep legacy going. Every girl loves a good accessory. Helecia has built a community through style, beauty, and providing honest brand reviews to her tribe. Don’t sleep on Mocha Mane.
Our self-care routines involve products with a purpose, and this is how we were drawn to Beneath Your Mask.

Beneath Your Mask takes quality products to the next level that will invigorate your own beauty past the surface.
Ebony is your neighborhood rug dealer. Creative, bold, and never not working. She embodies the entrepreneur spirit and her custom doormats are fun AF.

We have been fans of B. for a long time. When you think of women that are woven into sneaker culture, you can’t help but list B. in the mix. She has been a sneaker collector in the game for years, and has taken us along on thrifting adventures. She also has a shop of SimplyB products which are known to fly off the shelves. From bags to shirts to sweatshirts, she has transformed her love of kicks to merch that makes it in our e-carts everytime.
