The 16th Annual Essence Black Women in Hollywood Luncheon was truly the gift that kept giving. Attendees were in for a real treat, as they not only had the chance to bask in the wisdom of the industry’s most cherished Black women entertainers (including honorees Sheryl Lee Ralph, Quinta Brunson and Viola Davis to name a few), but they also had the opportunity to snag incredible swag from a range of generous partners and sponsors—many of which were proudly Black-owned.

Some notable favorites included the stunning Soko Mini Dash stud earrings, which are a hit among fashion lovers, and the Bolden Awake Under Eye Patches, which are a lifesaver for anyone in need of a little extra pampering. Of course, there were plenty of other incredible products included in the bag, too. To shop or get a closer look inside the 2023 Black Women in Hollywood Gift Bag, keep reading.
