Mushiya Tshikuka Honored at the 11th Annual Beauty Honors

The Queen of Texture. The “Baaad Girl” of natural hair. A true Mogul. 👑✨
We are beyond honored to announce that the incomparable Mushiya Tshikuka will be THE HONOREE at the 11th Annual Beauty Honors, presented by Horace Empowerment.

A Legacy of Power, Texture & Fearlessness

If you know the name, you know the impact. From her roots in the Congo to dominating the streets of Atlanta, Mushiya has rewritten the rules of beauty and business.
As the breakout star of WE tv’s Cutting It: In the ATL, she proved that confidence is the new currency, unapologetic, bold, and unforgettable.

But Mushiya’s empire stretches far beyond television.

The Vision Behind Mushiya Beauty

As the CEO of Mushiya Beauty (formerly Runway Curls), she has championed natural textures with iconic innovations like Baby Naps wigs and extensions, empowering women to embrace curl diversity. Her message is clear and powerful:

Love yourself by honoring your colors, coils, and kinks.

Her entrepreneurial journey spans multiple industries, from launching My Natural Doll (including the beloved Keleshe doll), to music, cosmetics, and skincare. Every move she makes is rooted in purpose and representation.

A Warrior for Women: The Mushiya Tshikuka Foundation

Mushiya’s impact extends deep into advocacy. Through her foundation, she created the NOIRE Campaign, a groundbreaking initiative addressing menstrual inequity in the Congo.

Did you know?
1 out of 10 girls in the Congo drops out of school simply because they don’t have access to sanitary pads.

Her mission:
✔ Distribute 1,000,000 free pads
✔ Station nurse ambassadors in schools
✔ Empower girls to stay in school and build their own futures

She is not just creating change—she is rewriting destinies.

Honoring a Woman Who Inspires Millions

On Sunday, December 7, 2025, the Beauty Honors will celebrate Mushiya’s unmatched contributions to beauty, business, and women’s empowerment.
This event uplifts excellence and raises scholarship funds for the next generation of beauty professionals.
