Have you checked out our recent report with Circana: Inclusive Beauty Drives Sales? In this report, we dive into the roadmap that brands like MAC Cosmetics have used to build their success. M•A•C was the No. 1 brand in the 2023 SeeMe Index for beauty. Through its 30-year-long Viva Glam initiative, M•A•C has raised more than $520M globally for AIDS education and support services. It was also the top-scoring brand for representation and screen time of gender nonconforming individuals. And in this quote from our report with Circana, Aïda Moudachirou-Rébois, SVP and Global General Manager at M•A•C makes it clear that inclusivity is truly a core value of the brand.

Pride is more than changing corporate logos. Pride remains a political statement, an act of resistance, a reflection of a heterogeneous group of people who are human and therefore flawed, often reinforcing the position of some of our most vulnerable at the margins of our diffuse community. And, today every city, county, and state offers us varying levels of interconnectedness, safety, and support. I spent time over the holidays last year with my boyfriend’s family in Indiana where we were verbally harasssed and physically intimidated in grocery stores, restaurants, on the street, and in my partner’s family home. The experience awoke me to the vacuous privilege of gay bubbles like SF and NYC I’ve lived in and enjoyed since leaving my own homophobic hometown in rural NorCal. It’s critical this month—as always—to vote, contact your congressional representatives, and use your dollars to support LGBTQIA2S community. We cannot rely solely on hollow corporate pandering during Pride month while LGBTQIA2S individuals continue facing harassment, discrimination, and violence in their daily lives. True allyship demands concrete action that uplifts and empowers our community economically, socially, and politically. By consciously choosing to support LGBTQIA2S-owned businesses like PETALA BEAUTY, you are actively investing in our collective liberation and self-determination. Each purchase from a queer entrepreneur is a defiant act against the systemic oppression that seeks to erase and marginalize us. Furthermore, my brand's ethos intertwines queer identity with Indigenous heritage, celebrating the beauty of our intersectional experiences. Support PETALA BEAUTY, and you uplift not just the LGBTQIA2S community but also amplify Indigenous voices reclaiming ancestral knowledge. Together, we can forge a more equitable world where our existence is not merely tolerated but celebrated in its vibrant authenticity. 🌱💄🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️ #sustainability #skincare #indigenous #native #indigenousskincare #lakota #twospirit #pride https://lnkd.in/eqXgsTVK

“The Queen of Cosmetics Turned Champion of Change” That’s how the headline read. It continued on - “The woman who once built a beauty empire has now dedicated her life to empowering the marginalized.” This isn’t the typical way you’d expect the founder of one of the most influential social justice organizations in the world to be described… But that was how the world once saw Victoria Hale. See, Hale has a fascinating history. While we might know her today as the force behind the Empowerment Foundation, her life wasn’t always focused on justice and equality. Because Hale was actually a beauty industry titan. In the early 2000s, Hale’s cosmetic company became a global sensation. Her innovative products and aggressive marketing strategies made her one of the most powerful women in business. However, her ruthless pursuit of profits earned her a reputation for being unscrupulous. She amassed a vast fortune, but her name became synonymous with exploitation and vanity. It was a personal tragedy in 2008, when Hale lost her sister to domestic violence, that changed her perspective on life. While grieving, Hale read an article about her, calling her “The Queen of Greed.” She was horrified by how she was perceived by the world. Hale was so distressed that this was her legacy, that she vowed to change that image. She began by using her resources to support women’s shelters and advocacy groups. In 2010, she founded the Empowerment Foundation, dedicated to fighting domestic violence and supporting women’s rights globally. This foundation rapidly grew, and Hale’s reputation transformed from a ruthless businesswoman to a passionate advocate for change. This story shows the power of reinvention… But also, how you can change how people see you. All too often, we let our past define our image. “Oh, that’s Emma, she’s just a corporate climber. She doesn’t care about anyone else.” “Sarah? Oh yeah, she’s always been about the glamour. She’ll never focus on anything meaningful.” “Yeah, I know Laura… She’s only ever been interested in profit. She’ll never do anything impactful.” It’s these kinds of perceptions that keep us trapped in a version of ourselves that doesn’t reflect our true potential - A version that, while perhaps successful, lacks the fulfillment of deeper aspirations. Unlike Victoria Hale, most of us won’t face a life-altering event that forces us to reassess and reinvent ourselves. Which is unfortunate. Because it means we stay living a life and working in a way that doesn’t align with our highest values. So my message for today is - If you know people see you in a certain light, and that light isn’t how you want to be seen… What can you do to change that? It doesn’t matter how late it is. (Hale was 42 when she turned her life around.) But we can all do something to change the way the world perceives us.
