We were so honored to be part of The Kelly Clarkson Show as they shined a big light on the incredible women of Beauty and Brains -- a nonprofit organization based in Chicago, IL. that mentors young women and provides scholarships. So many great parts of the segment, but the part that put BIG SMILES on our faces was seeing the reaction when Kelly Clarkson presented the founders of Beauty and Brains with a $10,000 donation from OttLite. Our hearts are so happy!!!
Growing up, sisters Janet and Jennifer Martin realized the disadvantages that many kids faced without access to a good education. While they were in school, they teamed up to fund scholarships for other kids. They later founded, Beauty and Brains, a non-profit organization that empowers black women by providing scholarships and mentoring opportunities. Kelly then meets Rachel, a student at Spelman College, who flourished after receiving financial support from Beauty and Brains. Then, OttLite donates $10,000 to Beauty and Brains.
