Our Founder

Blu Ellis, the visionary founder behind Dope Black Woman, set out to disrupt more than just fashion—she set out to shift the culture. Raised in the heart of a community rich with creativity, resilience, and untold stories, Blu saw the disconnect between the power of Black women and the way they were represented in media, fashion, and leadership. Fueled by a deep sense of purpose and a background in brand building, storytelling, and community organizing, she created a platform that does more than sell clothes—it celebrates identity, challenges norms, and amplifies voices too often left out of the narrative. With Dope Black Woman, Blu redefines what it means to lead with authenticity, style, and impact—placing equity, expression, and sisterhood at the center of it all.
