These past few weeks have been challenging, upsetting, and for a lot of us, eye-opening. It’s been a sombre time for black people in America in the wake of George Floyd’s murder and there is no excuse for the racial inequality that marginalized folk experience at the hands of police officers. It’s clear to see that the US has hit a breaking point and will not stand for these kinds of injustices any longer. The concern has even spread across the globe and brought to light similar issues that are faced outside of America. Though we are scared and taking on the emotional weight of all of this at the moment, we are not helpless. Many organizations and non-for-profits are actively taking donations and are constantly working to end violence towards people of color. Black-owned beauty brands such as Fenty Beauty and Pat McGrath Labs are also doing their part to be as inclusive as possible in their shade ranges and products, so every skin tone is considered in production.   It’s up to us as consumers and allies to make a concerted effort to purchase from ethical brands and do our part in contributing to this movement however we can. I’ve listed all of the brands mentioned in this episode, as well as some racial justice organizations you can support and donate to as well. Thank you so much for listening! In This Episode You Will Learn:Some background on the racial injustice that is experienced throughout the US (0:49)My perspective on this situation as an Indian woman & What I want to teach my daughter about racial inequality (2:24)What the aim of the ‘Black Lives Matter’ movement consists of (5:02)Ways that we can support this movement and be allies and advocates for change (5:37)How Sephora is contributing to ‘The National Black Justice Coalition’ (7:07)A list of black-owned beauty brands & Some backstory on a few of the founders (8:03)Black-owned beauty brands I haven’t used yet but are on my list to try out (16:02)Connect With Hanny Patel:Facebook GroupLinkedInInstagramEmail: getglowing@hannypatel.com Black-Owned Beauty Brands Mentioned In This Episode:Fenty Beauty Pat McGrath LabsColoured Raine CosmeticsBriogeoJuvia’s PlaceUoma BeautyMented CosmeticsDanessa Myricks BeautyRange BeautyBeauty BakerieAce BeauteB.Simone BeautyDehiya Beauty Hyperskin BeautyStat The Lip Bar Unsun Pholk Beauty Pear Nova Janet and Jo. Undefined Beauty Lamik Beauty  Nyakio Beauty The Crayon Case Propa BeautyPrime Beauty MFMG (Makeup For Melanin Girls) Cosmetics Omolewa Cosmetics Hue Noir Glo by Glory Nine Three Beauty Plain Jane Beauty Iman Cosmetics A.P.D.G. Ka’oir Nagi Cosmetics Maple & Beech Cosmetics OPV Beauty September Rose Co Muny Luxe Lashes Kaylux CosmeticsMDM Flow Racial Justice Organizations You Can Support:Funds:George Floyd Memorial Fund - The official GOFUNDME to support the Floyd familyThe Atlanta Solidarity Fund - Atlanta bail fund dedicated to those who have been arrested for protesting political injustice.
