About Xclusive Outreach:

The Xclusive Outreach Program was developed as a solution to aid with bridging the gap and creating an environment for minority women to share their successes, triumphs, and failures with their peers and younger generations of women. Nyke’ a Professional Make-Up Artist and owner of Xclusive Make-up Studio, created a unique avenue to do all of the above.

Xclusive Outreach serves the minority women of Nashville through creating an opportunity for makeup artists and beauty professionals to serve the community via networking, mentoring, sharing, pampering and training women and girls. This social initiative was birthed from the understanding that women of color need extra care and support to tackle career challenges, the discovery of self-worth, family pressures, social obstacles and life stress altogether.
