This summer marks a celebration of Black entrepreneurship as Crown Royal joins forces with Jackie Aina, beauty and lifestyle creator and co-founder of FORVR Mood, to unveil the latest whisky release, Crown Royal Blackberry. Together, the duo is hosting a special pop-up event in LA and introducing the limited-edition FORVR Mood x Crown Royal 'Berry on Top' candle.
Crown Royal and Jackie Aina's collaboration is dedicated to uplifting and empowering underrepresented communities. The partnership mainly focuses on supporting Black Girl Ventures, a non-profit organization that empowers woman-identifying founders by providing access to community, capital, and capacity-building opportunities.
