As eu2be founder and CEO, Charla Jones has created a collection of award-winning skincare products designed to honor all bodies and skin types and transform how we care for our skin. She is on a quest to illuminate the essential nature of beauty and wellness in our lives.Creativity and hard work form a thread that runs through all that Charla does. Likewise, the brand’s proprietary rare blends of natural carrier oils are themselves substantial and hardworking. Building on her lifelong passion for the arts and cultural experiences, the Boston-based entrepreneur serves on the boards of three forward-looking arts organizations: the Institute of Contemporary Art/Boston, the Boston public art curator Now + There, and New York Live Arts, home to the Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane Dance Company.From her world-traveling aunt Eugenia — for whom eu2be is named — to her maternal grandmother, who hosted the likes of B.B. King at her Midwestern speakeasy, Charla draws inspiration from highly creative, hardworking and entrepreneurial women. And she credits her caretakers for the idea that one’s labor creates value and beauty in the world.Before founding eu2be, her entrepreneurial career spanned endeavors ranging from small businesses to blue-chip Fortune 500 brands, and in 1998 she built an independent creative marketing agency from the ground up. Establishing offices and building teams in Boston and Paris, she worked hands-on with tech-company clients to devise their business strategies, product launch plans and marketing communications programs.In 2012, when her entrepreneurial instincts led her to recognize the unmet needs of highly discerning and wellness-minded people like herself, she created a brand that would embody an ethos of caring for the skin you live in — not just the face you present to the public. An avid collector of art and books, Charla’s passions extend to photography — often crafting and shooting images for Eu2Be — cooking, street fashion, travel and spending time in nature.

Former beauty writer and lifestyle/entertainment editor, branded content at Refinery29. / Former beauty freelancer at The Zoe Report, Elite Daily, ESSENCE. / Former beauty writer at INSIDER/Business Insider. Former marketing, Us Weekly.As a former NYC editor who got started in beauty, Brianna has been privileged to test and write about countless amazing products — many of them created by Black women, yet none dealing with her favorite accessory: fragrance. Which is unfortunate, given the fact that Black women spend so much on perfumes year-over-year, and generally speaking, account for almost a quarter of the total U.S. market. When the time came for her to move on and forge a new career path, she knew she had to do something about it. But what she didn't know was how hard launching in this industry can be when you lack the contacts, resources, and funds readily available to others. MOODEAUX and Black In Fragrance are her vision and hope for change.

Growing up on Catalina Island, drinking alcohol was among the most common ways to socialize with friends and family for Brianda. That is until recently when a debilitating autoimmune disease nearly took her father’s life. Accustomed to having big, family-filled celebrations and indulging in food and drinks as a way of bonding together, Brianda desperately searched for a way to continue a similar social connection with her father—even though it couldn’t contain alcohol any longer. Brianda values the benefits of an alcohol-free drink and decided to build a platform that allows people to access, discover, and understand alcohol alternatives and how they can fit into their lifestyle—calling it The New Bar. Brianda opened The New Bar on Lincoln Blvd. in Venice Beach in the summer of 2022. Doubling down on her desire to bring fun nonalcoholic drinks to mainstream events, Brianda and her tiny-but-mighty shop became the first alcohol-free partner of Coachella in 2023. Brianda has been featured in Forbes, Adweek, Thrillist, Eater, The Guardian and more as a significant driver in the NA movement.
