When beauty meets purpose, legacy is born — and that’s exactly the story of Melody Shari.
Known to millions as the breakout star and executive producer behind OWN’s Love & Marriage: Huntsville, Melody Shari has always been more than television. She’s a visionary, a business mogul, and a woman whose resilience built an empire, not from comfort, but from challenge, faith, and an unshakable belief in herself.
Today, Melody stands at the helm of Seventh Avenue Beauty, a thriving 7-figure beauty and wellness brand crafted specifically for ambitious, on-the-go Black women. But her journey to entrepreneurship didn’t begin with fame — it started with a childhood skin condition, humility, and a great-grandmother’s wisdom.
From Childhood Breakouts to CEO Brilliance
Growing up, Melody faced a skin condition called Pityriasis rosea, which caused inflamed breakouts that spread across her back. Her great-grandmother would mix special ingredients to soothe the flare-ups rituals that planted a seed in Melody long before she knew what entrepreneurship meant.
“I learned a lot about beauty, skincare, and healthcare from her. I made sure many of those things were incorporated into Seventh Avenue Beauty,” Melody shares.
What started as a personal battle became the blueprint for a brand that now serves hundreds of thousands of Black women seeking healthy, radiant skin.
Pivoting With Power — From TV Star to Beauty Mogul
After navigating a highly publicized divorce and years of reality-TV drama, Melody did what real hustlaz do. She pivoted with grace and purpose. Leaving the show at the start of 2025, she locked in on expanding her legacy beyond the lens.
Despite already becoming a millionaire by age 28 and dissolving businesses tied to her marriage, Melody rebuilt — this time, independently.
She launched:
💼 A real estate and business design company
🎬 An award-winning TV/film production company
💋 Seventh Avenue Beauty — her crown jewel
This wasn’t survival. It was elevation.
A Brand Built For Black Women, By Black Women
Seventh Avenue Beauty products are intentionally formulated for multitasking women, mothers, and entrepreneurs who pour into everything and everyone and still want to glow.
Behind every formula stands not only Melody’s vision, but the brilliance of a Black female chemist with 19 years of experience ensuring ingredients and results speak directly to our skin, texture, and beauty needs.
“The key is connecting and building trust,” Melody says. “I listen to my fans I want to serve them.”
Her audience is listening too nearly 1 million followers strong.
Breaking Records & Breaking Barriers
In 2024, TikTok named Seventh Avenue Beauty one of the top Black-owned brands in Alabama. Shortly after, Melody shattered TikTok live-shopping history drawing 1.6 million viewers over 8 hours.
That’s not just influence — that’s impact.
Legacy in Motion
With four children, multiple businesses, fashion collaborations, and a production empire — Melody Shari is rewriting what single motherhood, entrepreneurship, and Black woman brilliance look like.
“I want to be remembered as a strong, unmovable, unshakeable ‘mompreneur’ who showed love and rebuilt an empire,” Melody says.
“Every time someone uses our products, they feel a piece of that love.”
From childhood pain to powerhouse success, Melody didn’t just build a brand — she built a movement rooted in resilience, beauty, and Black woman excellence.
And she’s only just getting started.
