“I have seen kids cry because somebody did their hair incorrectly. I’ve also watched people bring their own barbers in,” she recalls. “I’ve also worked with incredible lighting designers and cinematographers who know exactly how to light people of color, and I’ve seen when it goes terribly awry, because somebody didn’t do the make-up properly or the hair looks wrong.”
Fortunately, Warner Bros. had recently formed a relationship that could help address this problem. The company had previously partnered with Black Beauty Roster, which focused on diversifying Hollywood’s beauty industry. Additionally, WarnerMedia is planning a company-wide webinar to serve as a hair & makeup 101 session, educating its employees on the nuances of textured hair and makeup for people of color. The company will offer in-depth trainings and workshops targeted towards executives and decision makers on allyship and advocacy, as well.
In the new collaboration, the WarnerMedia team will work with Tetteh and the BBR leadership council, which is composed of leading hair and makeup professionals in the industry including Sir John, Kim Kimble, Vernon Francois, and Larry Sims.
