In honor of Black History Month, we are highlighting more of what makes Utah great: the state’s Black Owned Businesses and nonprofits. Throughout February, this series will showcase a variety of business owners in a variety of fields from the food industry, the arts, fashion, and a non-profit that prides itself in encouraging children of color.
This week we meet Alyssha Darisow, a non-native Utahn, with roots stemming from the East Coast (North Carolina and New Jersey), but someone who has used her platform to elevate and inspire the Utah community, especially children of color. Alyssha is the founder of CurlyMe a non-profit organization that prides itself on educating, empowering, and encouraging children of color, specifically young Black girls in the state of Utah.
