WE STAND TOGETHER.

 

We Stand Together.

Our Commitment & Resources to Help End Racial Injustice.

We recognize that we all have a duty to dismantle racism, create change, and help carry this weight. We stand in solidarity with the Black community not only through words, but through our actions. We understand that the movement at hand requires more than this short list of action items, however, we are committed to continuing conversations and growing this list as we tackle the much-needed change in our society. 

          1. Our in-house brands will be donating 10% of our online proceeds to NAACP to help promote a society in which all individuals have equal rights without discrimination based on race.
          2. We will enroll our leadership team in courses focused on understanding privilege, systemic racism and improving cultural inclusion. 
          3. When producing content for our brands, we pledge to seek diversity among models, makeup artists, photographers, stylists and every person who contributes.
          4. We will continue to enforce a zero-tolerance policy for discrimination within our offices and factory.
          5. We are committed to creating a safe environment for honest conversations about race, police brutality, how we can support each other and how we can effectively dissolve chronic racism.
          6. We will use our platforms to speak up and share resources for our community, including supporting and amplifying the voices of the Black community by promoting Black activists, artists and entrepreneurs.   

As we continue to learn, we ask that our community also take the time to listen, learn and act alongside us. Here are some organizations we have found to be rich with resources and feasible steps we can all take today to start working towards change:
