BOSTON, Aug. 3, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Lace Layer, a Black woman-owned lace wig product company, is thrilled to announce that it has been awarded the Yummie O. Women in Business Grant for 2024.

In fact, being backed by Yummy Hair Extensions will further amplify our brand’s visibility and open doors for additional funding support and relationship building. This support is crucial as we are on the cusp of significant growth.
