Sally Beauty is amplifying its commitment to community and self-expression with Pride celebrations. Following impactful Rooted In Success events supporting Black History Month and Women's History Month earlier this year, Sally Beauty is celebrating the LGBTQIA+ community with programming and events this summer. In addition to an interactive three-day event that will pop up all over New York City in June, we partnered with Free Mom Hugs Inc. to offer support at upcoming Pride events nationwide to help root the LGBTQIA+ community in success. “Our Pride events are more than a celebration; they are a testament to the power of self-expression and diversity. We are committed to ensuring local LGBTQIA+ communities feel supported not only in June but throughout the entire year,” said John Goss, President of Sally Beauty. Visit sallybeauty.com/events to learn more and register for the New York City Pride Parties, which will take place June 27 to 29, 2024.

Happy National Black Business Month Running a home-based business is a journey filled with twists, turns, and a whole lot of learning. As an entrepreneur working from home, you wear all the hats—CEO, marketer, customer service rep, and even janitor. It’s rewarding, but let’s be real, it’s also challenging, especially when your target audience is as unique and powerful as Black women. Creating for Black women means understanding and honoring the nuances of our experiences, our culture, and our needs. It’s not just about selling products; it’s about connecting on a deeper level, providing value that resonates, and fostering a sense of community. That’s no easy task, but it’s a mission I’m deeply committed to. During National Black Business Month, I’m reflecting on the challenges and triumphs of this journey. It’s about staying true to my vision while ensuring every detail reflects the care and quality my audience deserves. But despite the hurdles, there’s nothing more fulfilling than seeing my work impact the lives of women who look like me, who share similar stories and dreams. It’s what keeps me going, even on the tough days. So, here’s to all the home-based business owners out there, especially those serving our beautiful Black community. Keep pushing, keep creating, and know that your hard work is making a difference.

December Series: Taylor Swift's Birthday Month and Legal Lens Next up on December series, I will be discussing about Taylor Swift's Folklore Merch which faced a design dispute and how Taylor Swift tackled it. Taylor Swift's merchandise for her album "Folklore" became a subject of controversy when a black businesswoman highlighted similarities between Swift's design and her own. The artist's iconic album, released in 2020, sparked admiration not only for its music but also for its accompanying merchandise. However, a cloud of contention arose when Amira Rasool, founder of The Folklore, pointed out resemblances between Swift's apparel and her brand's logo. Key Takeaways: - Similarities in Design: The merchandise in question featured a black and white design with bold, capitalized letters spelling out "The Folklore" against a floral backdrop, akin to Rasool's brand logo. - Impact of Social Media: Rasool took to social media to voice her concerns, addressing the uncanny resemblance and underscoring the importance of recognizing and crediting original designs, particularly those from marginalized creators. - Swift's Response: Taylor Swift swiftly responded by acknowledging the issue and expressing her commitment to rectifying the situation. She assured Rasool that her team would take immediate action to rectify the oversight. - Apology and Resolution: Subsequently, Swift's team reached out to Rasool, issuing an apology for the inadvertent similarity and removed the merchandise from the market. The team also pledged to financially support Rasool's company and initiatives that foster diversity in the creative sphere. - Lessons Learned: Taylor Swift's prompt response and commitment to rectifying the issue set an example for the industry. It underscored the importance of actively addressing inadvertent errors and promoting inclusivity and diversity within creative endeavors. The controversy surrounding Taylor Swift's "Folklore" merchandise served as a catalyst for discussions on originality, acknowledgment, and support for diverse creators. It stands as a testament to the power of dialogue and proactive measures in fostering an environment of inclusivity and appreciation within the realm of art and commerce. #LawgicalMedia #ipr #design #mediaandentertainment #law #legal #legaleducation #taylorswift #swiftie #decemberseries

We are back! Due to life, “More than Just” has taken a backseat and I wasn’t growing the community. I am now back, and I intend to expand our public discourse on the multifaceted nature of each person, promoting understanding, and embracing the richness that diversity brings to our community - i.e. it is going to be beyond race and racism. For now, the dialogue will be online - I encourage everyone to contribute to the discussion. I am thinking of what else we can do - if you have any ideas, pls share it here. :) PS: We now have a new logo. :)

Today is Juneteenth, National Independence Day 🎉 It is a day of celebration AND a day for allies to double down on our own commitments to impact continued movement toward equity. So I want to share a few things with you that I am re-committing to doing, in hopes that you'll share your own actions in the comments, or perhaps take inspiration: 📣 I champion the voices, experiences, and ideas of my Black colleagues whenever and wherever I am able to do so. (btw, if you're hiring UXers, you should check out Miriam Greene 🌈 Caitland Okorafor Travette Pettigrew Castañeda and so many other former Amazon UX Apprentices who are looking for work!) 🎓 I continue to educate myself on what it means to be Black in the U.S. and in the world, so that I can be a more informed, more empathetic ally. In particular, on forums such as LinkedIn I prioritize learning from Black women. (Just a couple I'd suggest: Shereen Daniels 🇬🇧🇯🇲🇬🇾 , Dr. Carey Yazeed - there are SO MANY and believe me when I tell you that shadow-banning is real, because I just scrolled on my feed for a solid 10 minutes and saw literally ZERO posts from the many amazing Black women I follow.) 👂 I listen more than I talk. Always learning! (If you're a #podcast listener like myself, try NPR's Throughline or CodeSwitch, or KUT's In Black America. Anne Helen Petersen also published an episode of her Culture Study podcast in April about Beyonce's Cowboy Carter that was excellent; I'll link in comments.) 💰 I support Black-owned businesses. (Check out my new favorite skincare brand, Kobeesco, which uses high-quality ingredients and **non-plastic, compostable packaging** in their products.) What are you doing today to un-learn and re-learn U.S. history (& present), or to elevate those around you - I'd love to hear! Also, The Texas Standard, one of my favorite journalistic organizations, is running a few stories today about Black history in the U.S., so I'm sharing one of them here - hope you'll read it.

I've been asked a few times over the last few months why we created a documentary looking into black culture. As I dig through our archives, I'm reminded of the time when Harry Pinero and Henrie, in collaboration with WhoWeBe Talks, gifted flowers to five Black women (Little Simz, Angelica Bell, Miss Jocelyn, Diane Abbott, and Keisha Buchanan) for their contributions to black culture and society. Being part of such a meaningful project made me realise there wasn't much content focused on giving people their flowers! I'm very critical of phrases like 'the culture' as they often promote a negative version of black life or a lifestyle that doesn't serve the community or its people. This project, in hindsight, opened my eyes to the necessity of talking to those truly striving to create spaces for young people to express themselves without the subtle negative undertones often found. Needless to say, this was a great experience for me and one of the projects that made me proud to have started NewMotion Visuals with Jordan Agyei, as we began to feel the positive impact being created. If you haven't already, please do watch our documentary, Your Summer Season, which shines a light on those who have created great events and spaces for young people to enjoy themselves.

4mothank you sm for the support! us lgbt individuals feel seen and heard when supported by big companies. It’s extremely important these days for big companies to speak out about supporting us and standing with us due to all the laws that are being passed down here in the south. It makes a huge difference, so thank you \(≧▽≦)/
