ASU Alumna Africa Miranda Named Creme of Nature Brand Ambassador

Top-selling Revlon hair care brand, Creme of Nature®, recently named ASU alumna Africa Miranda (‘98) as its new brand ambassador. The singer, model, activist and star of Bravo’s docu-drama TV show, “The New Atlanta,” currently is featured as one the models for Creme of Nature’s successful product line, Argan Oil from Morocco.

“From the moment we met Africa, we fell in love with her hair,” said Teneya Gholston, marketing director for Creme of Nature®. “As our working relationship progressed, we also fell in love with her beautiful personality and work ethic. Africa has made quite an impression on us and our consumers. She also aligns well with the direction of our brand, so naming her as the new brand ambassador only came natural.”

Miranda will represent Creme of Nature® in various capacities including special appearances, hosting Twitter chats and speaking at events and on panels. This summer, she will be seen on billboards in major cities featuring the company’s newest product line, called Argan Oil for Curls, as well as later this year in national print ads with top magazines such as “Essence,” “Sophisticate’s Black Hair,” “ Hype Hair” and “Ebony.”

“I remember my mother using Creme of Nature® on my hair as a little girl,” Miranda said.  “This appointment is a dream come true for me. I’m humbled, and I am looking forward to making this an amazing year with Creme of Nature®.”
