An Open Letter to the Beauty Industry: Don't Let Another Black-Owned Brand Disappear
Dear Beauty Industry, I'm exhausted. Tired in a bone-deep, soul-sapped, can't-believe-we're-here-again kind of way. I almost didn't write this letter because it feels like déjà vu wrapped in heartbreak. The news that Ami Colé, one of the most beloved Black-owned beauty brands, is shuttering after a wildly successful four-year run is as devastating as it is familiar. We know the stats. They're damning. Less than 0.1 percent of venture capital funding goes to Black women entrepreneurs. That's not just a missed opportunity—it's an intentional failure of imagination, investment, and equity. I've dedicated my career to celebrating, uplifting, and advocating for diversity and inclusion in beauty. And yet, most days, it feels like I'm preaching to the choir or screaming into the void. I've used every platform I've been blessed to hold—my voice, my bylines, my seat at the proverbial (and sometimes literal) table—to spotlight the undeniable brilliance of Black-owned brands. And still, I watch them disappear one by one. So now, I'm talking to you: the billion-dollar conglomerates and investors with deep pockets. The legacy houses and corporate giants with the power and purse strings to change the narrative. Yes, I'm talking to you, L'Oréal Groupe, Estée Lauder Companies Inc., Unilever Global, Proctor & Gamble, City Inc., Shiseido Company, e.l.f. Beauty Inc., and all the rest. You with the billion-dollar budgets who know how to write the checks that shift culture and make us all feel oh-so-beautiful. You who made room for Rhode, Drunk Elephant, OUAI, and Hourglass Cosmetics, to name a few (and no shade—those were solid plays). So, let's not pretend the bank accounts are suddenly empty when it comes to funding Black-owned brilliance. There is money. There is infrastructure. There is a proven formula. So, where's the disconnect when it comes to investing in brands that speak deeply, authentically, and powerfully to communities of color? Ami Colé did that—and then some. This wasn't an underdog story waiting to be fixed. This was a brand that had already done the damn thing. Over $3 million raised. On shelves in 600+ Sephora stores. Media acclaim. Award-winning products. Loved by the likes of Oprah and Martha Stewart. A founder (Diarrha N'Diaye-Mbaye) who formally worked at L'Oreal and in product development at Glossier. Viral moments. Cult-status glosses. A community that showed up, showed out, and bought in. The consumers did their part. So, why wasn't that enough? I'm devastated not just for the brand but for what this signals to Black founders everywhere: That even when you build something with intention, revenue, and community, survival is not guaranteed, at least not without deep-pocketed allies who understand both the moral imperative and the market opportunity in protecting this space. Let me say this louder: Black-owned beauty brands aren't just for Black folks. And even when melanin-rich skin or textured hair is centered, there is still undeniable magic. The potential to scale is not a liability—it's an untapped goldmine. I'm not just calling for charitable donations or feel-good optics. I'm calling for strategic investments. And maybe even for seats on your boards for people like me—those of us who've built careers testing your products (and all your competitors), telling your stories, and turning casual browsers into lifelong consumers. We may not have actual MBAs, but we have MBAs in beauty. We are your brand whisperers, your trend forecasters, your cultural compasses. The question is, will you listen? I fully understand there are countless layers and valid nuances that make my DEI dreams harder than ever to realize. But right now, I'm writing to you as a devoted beauty storyteller whose professional purpose—and passion—is to help move this industry in the right direction. So, I will continue to dream of a world where I have the capital to be the one writing ginormous checks. But since I don't (yet), I will continue to use my voice to push those who do. Because Black and brown beauty deserves more than a moment. It deserves momentum—real and everlasting. This isn't about calling you out—I'm lovingly calling you in. Let this not be another eulogy. Let this be a turning point. With urgency, hope, and light, Julee Wilson Julee Wilson is Beauty Editor at Large at Cosmopolitan.

Jill Scott's Debut Album Remains Soulful and Authentic 25 Years Later
Source: Marc Fong / other Today, you don't have to ask 'Who Is Jill Scott?', because she has defined herself as a staple of modern-day Rhythm & Blues with her harmonious soulfulness in her music, poetry and even gracing the big screen. But, twenty-five years ago, a then 28-year-old Scott took the world by storm with her innovative debut 'Who Is Jill Scott?: Words and Sounds Vol 1.' The summer of Y2K was in an era that was loud and proud, with releases from Britney Spears, 'Oops!… I Did It Again,' and Nelly's 'Country Grammar,' which was the sound of the southern summer. Philly native, Scott, came out in her realm softly, but not in a way that was quiet or inferior– the neo-soul jazziness and poetic lyricism of 'Who Is Jill Scott?' redefined soul and womanhood when it came to love and 'sister girl' experiences in a way that continues to resonate with listeners all these years later from the 'Jilltro' to the very end. The production of 'Who Is Jill Scott?' was by a Touch Of Jazz collective founded by fellow Philly native Jeff Townes, a.k.a. DJ Jazzy Jeff. While the album offers soulful production and instrumentation, Scott herself doesn't shy away from the real when it comes to relationships, from raw sensuality and sexuality, to summer Philly romances, to taking 'A Long Walk' and euphonious descriptions of 'The Way' love feels– her delivery, along with her spoken word pieces, is natural, sweet and demanding. The album feels like a map of Black womanhood and romantic relationships, from the fan-favorite songs such as the heartfelt 'He Loves Me (Lyzel in E Flat)' to the reflective 'Slowly Surely' that navigates leaving a relationship, and the defensive 'Gettin' In The Way.' Even 'Brotha' that often shows the solidarity of standing behind your own, celebrating the Black man. She lifts up their beauty, power even when the world tries to strip it away. The album is layered not only with melodic grooves, but also real life tales from an artist that throughout her expansive career continues to keep it real. Twenty-five years later, 'Who Is Jill Scott?' is still a reflection of authentic experiences– from joy, heartbreat and passion, resonating just as powerfully now as it did back then.

‘Love Island USA's Chelley and Huda Send Message to Fans Amid Feud
If you watched the reality TV gold that was Love Island USA season 7, then you know that Chelley Bissainthe and Huda Mustafa didn't always get along in the Villa. Now that they've left Fiji, it appears that Chelley and Huda have unfollowed each other on Instagram amid severe harassment from fans, prompting them both to release statements condemning bullying and hate. Need more info? Here's everything we know about what's going on with Chelley and Huda after Love Island USA. Huda and Chelley had a major falling out in the Villa after Huda danced on Ace Greene during the Heart Rate challenge, and things only got more tense after the Standing on Business challenge, when Chelley questioned Huda's behavior with both Ace and Chris Seeley. Fans of both women immediately went to war on social media, and despite the fact that Chelley and Huda have unfollowed each other on Instagram (Olandria Carthen also reportedly unfollowed Huda), they're asking fans to stop spreading any hate in their names. Speaking to Blavity in a post-show interview, Huda specifically defended Chelley and Olandria, who have been getting a lot of unwarranted hate as Black women on television often do. 'I still love Olandria. If I'm not hating her, I don't think anyone should be,' she said, adding that while 'everyone is entitled to their own opinion,' there is a line that is to to be crossed. 'I don't condone hate. I don't condone bullying. I don't condone any of that,' she continued. 'I think people's safeties are at risk. And the last thing I want is for anyone to feel unsafe or to feel like they're getting some sort of backlash at my expense. I think that's ridiculous.' And while she admitted that she and Chelley weren't close, that doesn't mean she wants her fans to attack. 'I do wish her the best and I do care for her as a person,' she said. Meanwhile, in an Instagram statement thanking fans, Chelley alluded to the racist hate she's received throughout the season. 'To the people who used their platforms not just to recap a show but to speak truthfully about the deeper realities Black women face, your words meant everything,' she wrote in part. 'You reminded the world that we are layered, emotional, complex, worthy and real. Thank you for holding the line of truth with me and for me in times where hate seemed stronger than usual.' She then echoed Huda's calls for fans to stop harassing others, writing, 'I just ask one favor... that my supporters turned family continue to spread love and not hate. Keep lifting each other up. Keep choosing compassion. That's how we change the world.' Chelley and Huda might not be friends, but they're clearly not enemies. Hopefully fans will get a clearer answer on where they stand when the Love Island USA season 7 reunion airs August 25.
