BLK + GRN offers a beautifully curated online marketplace for clean beauty. No more digging around and cross referencing different sources: they have done the work for us. Better still, the social mission behind the brand specifically amplifies the incredible work of the black-owned brands lining their online shelves.
Dr. Kristian Edwards is the mastermind behind this marketplace — a Yale and Johns Hopkins alum, public health expert, yogi, and the visionary founder of BLK + GRN. Since launching in 2018, her marketplace has elevated over 100 Black-owned, non-toxic wellness brands and shipped tens of thousands of orders to conscious consumers across the country.
BLK + GRN isn’t just a business—it’s a movement. A vibrant intersection of sustainability, health equity, and #BlackGirlMagic, all rooted in Dr. Kristian’s mission to help us live greener, cleaner, and more joyfully.
In this conversation, we’re diving into her inspiring journey from public health to entrepreneurship, the realities of building a values-based brand, and the wisdom she’s gained supporting Black women founders every step of the way.
