Addressing racial inequity in the global beauty industry represents a $2.6 billion opportunity, yet plenty of friction points remain, including ongoing frustrations experienced by founders of colour, a lack of shelf space for BIPOC brands and few executives of colour in higher positions.
Striving to change all of that is Moj Mahdara, co-founder of non-profit Beauty United and venture capital fund Kinship Ventures.
On this episode of Vogue Business’s Beauty Radar podcast, Mahdara shares her preferred approach of “calling in” versus “calling out” — inspired by academic and activist Loretta J Ross’s strategy, rooted in compassion and accountability — and her journey to pursuing a more equitable beauty industry.
This eight-part series will feature guests such as Dolce & Gabbana Beauty CEO Gianluca Toniolo, Glow Recipe co-founders Sarah Lee and Christine Chang and Beauty United’s Moj Mahdara.
