A first for the country: The Zimbabwe Beauty Industry Awards celebrate innovation, empowerment and growth

Finally, a platform to honour the beauty sector maestros has arrived. The inaugural Zimbabwe Beauty Industry Awards (ZBIA) are here and the launch of this much-needed platform celebrating the excellence in the country’s fast-growing beauty and wellness scene is cause for celebration. This pioneering initiative, a first of its kind in Zimbabwe, will mark a historic milestone for an industry that has long operated without formal recognition of the talent it holds. Forget it being all about the glitz and glamour; of course that’s part of the proceedings, but the crux of the matter here is that at last, a stage to celebrate the industry’s service providers has now come to life.

This is the narrative that ZBIA is out to change, for the better. It is all about celebrating the impeccable innovation and dedication exhibited by these professionals on a daily basis.

ZBIA is the brainchild of Natasha Mutsinzira, a certified event planner and owner of Tashathefloristandstylist Events & Chiso Beauty Studio. A trailblazer in her line of work — with numerous qualifications in event planning, floral management, nail artistry, permanent makeup, and business administration — Mutsinzira firmly believes the time to honour the service providers in the beauty industry is now. In conceiving ZBIA, she was spurred by the innate desire to celebrate those who “play a huge role in beautifying people for different activities and events”.
