Did you know that according to a 2022 McKinsey & Company article, Black consumers represent 12.4% of the population and 11.1% of spending on beauty products while Black-owned and/or -operated brands make up only 2.5% of revenue in the beauty industry, a gap of 5-6x? And early-stage Black beauty companies raise 64% less in venture funding than early-stage non-Black beauty companies. This is the gap that we set out to address three years ago with the National Beauty Pitch! Rare Beauty Brands has once again teamed up with Black Girl Ventures and new retail partner JCPenney to elevate funding opportunities for Black and Brown female founders in the beauty industry with a large-scale pitch competition.

💡 "Investing in underrepresented media owners has a laddering-up effect in terms of value to the brand and benefit to the community. When brands work with these companies, they have diverse teams who are well-versed in the communities they serve. As such, they provide authentic, inclusive content that resonates with those communities." Meet Deidre Smalls-Landau, Chief Business Equity Officer, UM Worldwide and Managing Partner, Identity Mediabrands and BRIDGE Board Member. In our Q&A with Deidre, she speaks about why #DEI efforts have stalled, getting CMOs re-invested, and creating equity for media brands led by underrepresented owners.

Over the past 9 weeks, I've been fortunate enough to participate in the incredible I2N at The University of Newcastle Female Founders Program.   While my initial idea wasn’t validated, the journey has been about much more. I've embraced the concepts of #designthinking to learn about the challenges and needs of specific populations—especially #pregnantwomen navigating work during pregnancy and returning to work and those recovering from illness or injury while re-entering the workforce. My research has uncovered the persistence of #workplacestigmas. These stigmas involve negative stereotyping or labeling individuals with conditions that carries social disapproval because of the undesirable perception, making their journey back to work more challenging. Limiting their ability to #thrive, both professionally and personally.   Workplace stigmas are not just obstacles but psychosocial hazards. They can impact workplace culture, wellbeing, safety, psychological safety, organisational performance and individuals’ positive mental health. We need to break these barriers and create a more inclusive and supportive work environments and this can be done by using #coachingpsychology. Coaching and #positivepsychology can support the application of learning around such topics (including unconscious bias and psychosocial hazards and risks) that affect workers’ psychological, emotional and social wellbeing. I will be pitching on Wednesday, 13th December, which involves sharing my journey and learnings, along with a number of other amazing women. If anyone is interested in attending the event and learning more; please don’t hesitate to contact me. I'm looking forward to sharing more on these topics and how we can use coaching psychology and positive psychology to support organisations and individuals - creating cultures of wellbeing and safety.
