India Rose

I’m a multi-passionate CEO. I’ve been fortunate to build a career combining my love of supporting athletes and their fans from the sidelines, while creating opportunities for black and brown businesses to thrive. I’m the CEO and founder of Sideline, a motivational sportswear and streetwear brand. My storefront doubles as a community event space and hub of culture, holding numerous gatherings from book signings, art shows to wine tasting experiences.

As a year-round Martha’s Vineyard resident, I developed the first-of-its-kind, MV Black-Owned Business Directory to highlight the numerous Island retailers, restaurants, and specialty shops and to guide locals and vacationers on where to spend with a purpose. When I’m not in my shop or cheering on others from the sidelines, I speak on topics such as “Black Business in a Tourism Industry” and “Creating Twelve Month Revenue Streams in a Seasonal Economy.”

Interested in working together? I’d love to hear from you!
