I never thought I would, but I actually often enjoy writing obituaries. They're a chance I get to capture and celebrate someone whose life was hopefully well lived. But the obituary of AJ Crimson was one I absolutely didn't want to write. I didn't know AJ well, but, when I interviewed him last year, the story he told was incredibly inspiring, and he went out of his way to get in touch with me afterward with such sweet messages. He truly was one of a kind. I'm heartbroken for him and his family, and for the beauty industry that will suffer from missing what he could have done. He had so much left to give. He was a gift. Learn more about him in the @beautyindependent obituary linked in bio.

I am on a podcast. It’s @offtherecordwithyou with @skinowl founder @annietevelin available on Apple Podcasts and Spotify at the link in bio. It’s my first and possibly my last podcast appearance. I did it for Annie, who I adore and who is a gracious interviewer. I hope I didn’t massacre her podcast. Oh, and this quote is pretty much a synopsis of my daily existence of trying to push anything difficult to my colleagues @clairemcmack and @taylahgram. If they don’t want to off me, maybe listeners of @offtherecordwithyou will. My apologies to everyone involved.

I want to thank @paayalm for nominating me for the #womensupportingwomen challenge. Instead of a photo of me, I want to spotlight her and her amazing brand @essentialbodycouture. It’s truly elevating Indian skincare and showing the world what luxury is. My colleague @alice_alina_m wrote a terrific story about it for @beautyindependent that’s linked in the bio. I will never understand the contemporary focus on needing social media credit. We don’t support our fellow women with Instagram posts. We support them by showing up when it matters and helping out when it’s not validated by followers. I hope to honor the women that came before me in the path I take, not the billionaires profiting off of superficial fronting.

Being able to shine a little light on people who work tirelessly behind that scenes in the beauty industry without praise or public acknowledgement makes my job worth it. Thanks to my colleague @clairemcmack for assembling a list of more than 50 Black-owned service providers, including @mseedgroup co-founded by @mseedanthony. If you’re starting a beauty brand, definitely check out these resources. #indiebeauty #beautyindependent #underappreciated

Ariane Goldman launched @hatchgal in 2011 because maternity destinations A Pea in the Pod and Destination Maternity didn’t suit her uber-chic boho style. Since then, she’s carefully grown it to include stores and the beauty collection Hatch Mama. Ariane intends for Hatch to evolve deftly with the women it appeals to. “I want to be a beautiful household name in a way that matters,” she tells @beautyindependent. See story at link in bio. Hat tip to @byjoanie for mentioning Hatch stood out amid a sea of retail concepts. #weareindiebeauty #cleanbeauty #femaleentrepreneur #beauty #entrepreneur

The possibility of external funding can bring up existential questions for a brand. What is our place in the market? What does the future look like? @golde CEO and co-founder Trinity Mouzon considered those questions and concluded her brand didn’t need external funding now. “It was a matter of removing ourselves from the track that says, once you achieve X amount in revenue, you have to get investors,” she tells @beautyindependent. #weareindiebeauty #wellness #makewellnessinclusive #entrepreneur #entrepreneurlife #entrepreneurship

Raise your hand if you want skin like Melissa Medvedich’s. My hand is touching the ceiling! Sure, her excellent genes play a role, but she’s sharing what she uses to supplement them with her first product for new brand @supernal.co. Cosmic Glow Oil is a yummy oil that looks great on skin and on the bathroom counter. Read more about it @beautyindependent. #weareindiebeauty #cleanbeauty #skincare #genxwomen #genx

As a consumer, Barbara Paldus was disappointed by the lack of rigor in the clean beauty and wellness segment. As an investor, she’s intent on making sure the segment is more credible. Her efforts are just getting underway with the launch of new VC firm Sekhmet Ventures and funding for @stambasuper. Read about what she’s up to @beautyindependent. #weareindiebeauty #cleanbeauty
