The Beauty Standard

Tomi Talabi gathered 80 founders, executives, investors and creators at The Lighthouse to ask the question Black beauty can no longer avoid: who owns the value we create?

Lisa Price, Olamide Olowe, Germaine Bolds-Leftridge, Cornell McBride Sr. and more were celebrated October 10 at Atlanta's Riverside EpiCenter under the theme Midnight Bloom.

On August 27, Mind Candy Beauty founder Lyric Christian brought Beauty, Unfiltered featuring Billie Gene + Friends to WTF Dumbo Studio for a standing-room-only night built around the conversations beauty professionals are usually left to navigate on their own. What followed was a candid exchange on career pivots, burnout, boundaries and what it really takes to build a career that lasts.
