"I acutely understand that beauty is so specific to different cultures and different backgrounds — that element of the storytelling is so exciting to me."Author:Stephanie SaltzmanPublish date:Aug 17, 2020In our long-running series "How I'm Making It," we talk to people making a living in the fashion and beauty industries about how they broke in and found success.
Tell me a bit about your personal and professional background. Did you know that you wanted to work in the fashion/beauty space from a young age? What interests you about fashion and beauty, and why did you ultimately choose to focus on beauty as your main area of focus? I feel like HuffPost was the Harvard of digital media and is where I learned how online media truly works, which has been really beneficial to my career. The diversification of my storytelling there is something I am really proud of. HuffPost allowed me to really create a lane for myself in becoming a voice around the lack of diversity and inclusion in the fashion and beauty industries.
It's about standing in my dopeness and knowing that the work I did at Essence could continue. Black women are magic and I want my legacy to be that I made sure that message is spread everywhere. I celebrate everyone, all races, all skin tones, all everything. But the fact that I can come into an iconic brand like Cosmo, and really sprinkle some Black girl magic, just makes my heart sing. And the fact that the brand is supportive of that is incredible.
Stop worrying. I'm a worry-wart. I worry so much about the future and what's next. Worrying is the opposite of faith. I'm just trying to have more faith in the fact that life will work out the way it should whether I'm stressing myself out or not. Well, spoiler alert: I am a Black woman. And eternally proud of it. It's hard not to celebrate what you see and who you are. That's what brings me so much joy and pride in making sure that women of color feel seen and celebrated in this industry.
