She said,

“I think the [live events] industry was blindsided by what happened. I was like, I can’t focus on myself right now because that’s too difficult. So I had this opportunity to redirect it.”

She was joined by some of the biggest names in the beauty industry along with founders and leaders from numerous other brands, including Violet Grey, Costa Brazil, Summer Fridays, Milk Makeup, the Honey Pot Company, First Aid Beauty, Pursoma, Harry’s, Versed, and Follain.

Talking about her in the beauty industry, she revealed,

“I don’t really have a beauty background. I’ve only been in the beauty industry the past six years. But I started calling all my industry friends. No one knew of any industry response to the pandemic, so I gathered about 40 brands, and we started weekly calls.”

Happy Gay Pride ?️‍? ?? Visibility is activism. I have become aware via my work at @beautycon how true this is. As a Queer boyish gay person I never thought I would have a wife and family. It’s seemed like a far away wish. To many obstacles to over come. Queer Gay Persian women are not suppose to be gay and definitely not suppose to be gay together + give life to a very Persian boy. But we did it. Happy Gay Pride. May you be loved, seen and surrounded by love and possibility. We have always been amongst you in society. Stay Queer, Stay family and Stay Visible ?️‍?? “I remembered what it was like to walk a gauntlet of strangers who stare—their eyes angry, confused, intrigued. Woman or man: they are outraged that I confuse them. The punishment will follow. The only recognition I can find in their eyes is that I am “other.” I am different. I will always be different. I will never be able to nestle my skin against the comfort of sameness.” Leslie Feinberg, Stone Butch Blues #elijahmcclain #breonnataylor #blacklivesmatter #imdifferent @justiceforelijahmcclain
