You know, like I'm a kid, like let me live. But it definitely was a learning curve. But I will say like in college is when I really was like, okay, like I kind of like full glam, like let me put it on, you know?
Did you see, like, the waterline, like, the white waterline?
you know, there is a lack of representation in like every industry, like not even just beauty. Like I think on a larger scale, we don't see a lot of dark skinned women in anything really. And so it was more so hearing that like, oh, like I didn't even think that this was possible because I haven't seen it, but I'm watching you do it. And that inspires me to,
shoot for the moon you know like absolutely that was for me just like wow like I actually cannot stop doing this because it's really 12 year olds watching me and like looking up to me and I wish that when I was young I had that type of like figure to look up to and be like you know what I can do anything that I put my brain to yeah anything that my medulla reaches for it reaches you know but it just wasn't a huge reality for me so to know that I was inspiring like larger than the masses but like girls that like look like me that was like
Yeah.
It does because it's like, you know, we've had it hard, guys. We've had it so hard. And also just like experiencing life just not being the beauty standard is a tough one.
It's a tough one for sure. And then we live in a very secular society, too. Yeah. Yeah. I'm praying for all of us.
I feel like a little bit of both. Like I think for South Sudan specifically, like a lot of South Sudanese women are models. Like we see them on the runway. Right. But I know that comes with its own demon, honestly, like the way that they view us and like masculinism, like they just, first of all, they be shaving off our hair. Like they literally are just like, let's shave it, let's shave it.
Like a lot of South Sudanese models just like, they just have to shave their hair to like walk the runway. And it's just like side eye, you know? And even just like the way they're portrayed in media, like the way that a lot of magazines and just like a lot of publications will constantly like darken. The exposure will be brought down to here to make us look darker. And it's like, you know, okay.
Like, I guess that's strange, but you know, yeah, it's just like a, it's like a really quick side eye. So it's definitely a demon in its own, but I just have noticed as I've grown in this industry for sure. Like there's a lot that has happened. There's a lot of representation that has happened on my part. And not only is it just like dark skinned women, but also just like,
Yeah. No, I honestly I love consulting. I think a lot of people don't have a lot of insight on what it actually like means to consult. And like on a larger scale, a lot of these companies are not testing on people with darker complexion. And that's why there is these. large discrepancies in these products and these new launches that they have. Which is insane. Yeah, it's absolutely insane.
They're not testing it on people that look like us. Beyond that, there are no black people on the teams. From the cosmetic chemists to even just the people that work in the PR that are hiring the girls for the campaigns or just... You know, even like the little beauty campaigns and like the ads and stuff that they're running, like they're not a lot of black people in those rooms. Right.
So with consulting, I think people are just like, OK, well, I don't they just make the shade to begin with that. And I'm just like, well, they're not so.
you know how do we change exactly how do we do that tangible change how do we make it work because at the end of the day too like not everyone is chronically online like if a dark-skinned girl walks into sephora and she has never seen my videos before and she doesn't know who i am and she goes to whoever she goes to and there's not a shade for her but she tries to make it work like that's an experience a lived-in experience that so many people live in right and so why not make sure that there is access to shades for people with dark complexions like not everyone's online you know like yeah
as much as I would love to say like, Oh my gosh, like guys, like just don't shop at the brands and don't do this. Don't do this. Like a bigger picture. Yeah. There are people that are going to be shopping at these brands regardless. And so hello, if we can get rid of the trauma of swatching a shade and it being not the cutest, like let's do it. Like let's make it accessible.
And that's what consulting is. It's like, you're going to have to continue to step out of comfort to make that tangible change. And I think a lot of people have a hard time with conceptualizing that it's,
we're in a society where black people and dark-skinned people are just not seen we're not validated we're not even we're not even thought of most of the time right and so it takes a lot to actually just like sit there and be like you know what it's really above me but what can i do internally to make sure that this is getting shifted industry-wide absolutely and you're
i've i was like i know you're with the shits because you're not afraid of shit like that yeah i was like she just like me for real no for real like y'all could blacklist me it's okay like i also just like recognize too that like i you know baby i grew up broke the ten thousand dollars that y'all want for me you can keep it yeah Like you can keep it. Honestly, I just it is what it is.
You're going to get blacklisted. You're going to, you know, be confronted with really uncomfortable conversations. Yeah. And you have to navigate through that in a lens that's like, OK, how can I productively make tangible change? Yeah, absolutely. And do it unapologetically.
If you're not willing to do it unapologetically, despite the backlash or despite what other people think, despite what these beauty brands are going to do to you. then nothing is going to happen. And we're going to continue to be in this cycle of like, okay, there aren't shades. Y'all are still launching this and doing that. No, these beauty brands, y'all can be a little afraid.
