A note from Team Byrdie: We will always use our platform to spread the message of inclusivity, equality, and human rights. This week we’ll be highlighting the editors, writers, and brands working tirelessly to bring Black voices to the forefront, both in the beauty industry and beyond. While we’re spotlighting these stories and brands right now, we’re also reminding ourselves and our readers that Black voices need to be heard and championed every day. We’re listening, we’re learning, and we know we can do better. We will do better. Black lives matter.

We don’t want this to be a one-way conversation. Please send us a note at [email protected] to share any feedback, questions, or suggestions with our editors.
