What You Made Happen This Year! A 2025 Recap

As our best year yet comes to a close, we’re taking a moment to reflect on a year defined by sisterhood, growth, and collective impact. Nothing would have been possible without our community, both online and in person! Every share, purchase, event stop, and conversation helped move our mission forward.

Our Biggest Wins of 2025

Here are the moments from 2025 that deserve to be highlighted.

Essence Fest 2025 Takeover

BGV became the spotlighted brand, drawing a significant crowd and selling out all three days of the festival! Essence even published an article about us after the event, stating “Black Girl Vitamins drew major crowds and sold out — and for good reason.”
