With Firstline's 40th anniversary approaching in 2026, the brand kicked off its yearlong Road to 40 celebration campaign with an Empowered by Legacy brunch in Houston. Headlined by CEO Joni Odum and Evolve® Celebrity Brand Ambassador LeToya Luckett, the event brought together beauty and business influencers for a powerful conversation on beauty, legacy and entrepreneurship.

Firstline deepened its focus on cultural and community connection by participating in local grassroots events such as Dancin' in the Street – A Motown Revue and Trap Sushi powered by DreamCon. The brand is also partnering with the non-profit CoolxDad, which introduced the Robert A. Bowser Real-Time Award-honoring Firstline's late founder for his enduring legacy as a devoted father and visionary entrepreneur.
