ItGirl
As they say, create the change you want to see in this world, besties. That’s why xoNecole linked up with Hyundai for the inaugural ItGirl 100 List, a celebration of 100 Black women who aren’t afraid to pull up their own seats to the table. Across regions and industries, these women embody the essence of discovering self-value through purpose. They're fierce, they’re ultra-creative, and we know they make their cities proud.
We’re giving the first class of ItGirls their flowers through inspiring video profiles showcasing their journey to greatness.
