Kulaborative Works LLC

Q3 gave us a lot to reflect on 🤔💭

We spent this quarter getting in new rooms, meeting new people, having conversations without always knowing where they’d lead, and continuing to figure out what we want this next chapter of Kulaborative Works to look like.

And somewhere along the way, we realized that not every opportunity needs an immediate outcome to be worthwhile. Sometimes you show up, make the connection, learn something, and let the rest unfold from there.

💞 Heading into Q4 with more perspective, more intention, and plenty to keep building on

Happy birthday to our founder, resident Libra queen, and networker extraordinaire, Wah-De! 🎂💕

The woman behind the strategy, the relationships, the big ideas, and quite literally everything else happening at Kulaborative Works 😂

This year has brought new rooms, new relationships, new opportunities, and plenty of reasons to be excited about what’s ahead.

Here’s to another year of building, connecting, creating, and probably talking someone’s ear off about beauty and marketing along the way. 🥂✨

Happy birthday, Wah-De! 💕

This month’s Kulaborative Edit is celebrating 🎉 Hispanic Heritage Month 🎉

And of course, we’ve got a few products on our wishlist (and already in our shopping carts 😅)

Mexican beauty is the moment and SARELLY Beauty is one to watch 💚🤍❤️

The brand recently expanded into 600+ Target stores, bringing its bold, distinctly Mexican take on premium beauty to even more shelves across the U.S.

Dos Mundos is definitely one to watch in fragrance 🌹

Dos Mundos was just selected for Ulta Beauty ‘s 2026 MUSE Accelerator 👏🏾🎉, joining this year’s cohort of emerging brands receiving mentorship, funding and support as they prepare for their next stage of growth.

Can’t wait to see where Alexis Flores takes the brand next 👀

From embracing their own natural curls to OCOA - High End Curly Hair Care becoming the first Dominican-American hair care brand on Ulta shelves💙🤍❤️💙

OCOA is now in 460+ Ulta stores, bringing Cory & Nicol’s vision for clean, Dominican-inspired curl care to even more curly girlies!

We love a full circle founder story 🥹

NOPALERA® knows Mexican beauty deserves a place in luxury🌵

That belief has been at the heart of Sandra Velasquez’s vision for Nopalera from the beginning, building a modern beauty brand that puts Mexican heritage, ingredients and rituals front and center.

Proof that culture and luxury were never mutually exclusive 💅🏾💎

It’s not an accident that you remember the brands you do 🤔

Consistency is an important part of building a recognizable brand. The more consistently people experience your brand, from how you show up visually to the way you communicate, the easier it becomes for them to recognize you.

But the brands we remember give us something distinctly theirs, too.

A point of view. A visual cue. A message. An experience. Something that makes us think of that brand and no one else.

That’s the sweet spot: building enough consistency to become recognizable and enough distinction to become memorable.

Strong brands need both ✨💡

Guess we’re back 😅?!
