Day 1 Cannes Lions. Just getting started. Already enjoying hearing about Dove’s relentlessness on “beauty without artifice” to Deepak Chopra MD (official) discussing consciousness to imagination, and stopping by #Omnicom Cove for lots of rich AI conversation. Loved hearing Reddit CEO Steve Huffman talk about communities, the most authentic catalog of human experiences, and how consumers are desperate and seeking “real.” #Canneslion2024

Book bans are denying women access to basic health education. In over 20 states, thousands of women's health and anatomy books are banned from prisons. This forces incarcerated women to decipher what's happening in their own bodies and puts them at higher risk of dying from preventable, treatable conditions. To fight this dangerous censorship, we partnered with the Claremont Forum and a contact inside to develop a women's health textbook that sneaks past these book bans.

Happy #Juneteenth! On this day in 1865, enslaved Black Americans in Galveston Bay, Texas were finally informed of their freedom—two whole years after the Emancipation Proclamation was declared. Today, celebrations featuring food, festivals, parades, and art take place locally and nationally. We encourage our teams and communities to learn more about the holiday and participate in opportunities to honor the Black American community’s ongoing fight for freedom and progress. Fun Fact: When Juneteenth was officially recognized in 2021, it was the first new federal holiday enacted since #MartinLutherKing Jr. Day was adopted in 1983!
