THANK YOU for bringing the “FASHION INDUSTRY” panels and organizations to your viewers--It’s important to understand FASHION is so much more than “DESIGNER THIS and DESIGNER THAT”--We need to also understand the presence of Black people behind the scene, not everyone needs to be in front of the camera!!!!
Enjoyed the video. Your humor is everything. Hang on to it. You had me LOL about picking Carlos up from the airport. That’s why I am that girl when I get picked up. I keep the person picking me up posted every minute from the time we can turn on our phones. Yes people are questioning Beyoncé on her hair care products when she never shows her hair. Not even getting it washed.
He was stressing me out in the round about airport thing ! Lmao. But i think we should give the marketing and exposure of Beys hair a little more time. It’s such a new brand. She’s already done a few things differently and yall will get an honest review from me on Wednesday 👀
About a month ago I watched one of your comedy shows. You are naturally funny and it shows in your routine. Do, you! Do all the things, and thanks for taking us along with you. You inspire me to explore my talents more 😊❤
You are very natural when speaking publicly. I find everything you said to be relevant and delivered in a way that was relatable and easily digestible, which are hallmarks of public speaking! Keep it up. I hope to see more this from you!!! Another great vlog as always!
Hi Carolyn you said some profound things during the panels. If they don’t like the fact that you are there it’s their loss. They need to realize that God has placed you there. Also, leading with kindness with everyone. People always remember how you make them feel. We are definitely lifelong learners. We can learn from everyone.❤
Re Cecred, I've been chatting to a cosmetic chemist and they are EXCITED about the ingredients in this brand. She described it as 'Oribe for black people' - so I'm definitely intrigued. Also the website is changing every day and actually shows a wide range of hair types close-up and instead of using the numbers system, it uses words to describe, which I think makes a lot of sense. Also, if you buy it let us know cause the shipping and taxes to the UK is a LOT. My friend paid £60 in shipping alone.
You had me laughing at the airport. I've had same situation before... communication is key. Thanks for take us around with you. Congrats on being called to do more panels in the fashion industry. Cheers Beautiful!!
I LOVE REESA!!!! She was so professional, eloquent and confident in her storytelling abilities Chile!!! She is giving facts and coming with receipts and I respect her so much for sharing her story. I have watched the whole thing and let me just tell you she is a better woman than I could ever be because the way she kept her cool and handle certain situations, would not be me because I would be in jail seriously...... Not even playing. So love her for that, love her for keeping her integrity and her grace throughout All of that. And I love that she said if she could just help one person it was all worth it, that's just so beautiful.
You were so great on the panel! Thank you for sharing bits and pieces of your life with us. I’m rooting for you and all the things.. with love from Baltimore 🖤
Saw you on Monica’s channel, your fashion eye was showing. Your comedy!! Fashion Knowledge & common life events allow us to connect. Especially thanks for the men’s department walk through.
I'm scruggling yes scruggling with influenza b rn and your video made me forget I was sick. When you sd run the pedestrian over, it took me out😂. Congrats on both of your speaking engagements. Now I'm going to watch the tiktok series
I’ve been binging your content. Let me tell you! You are my friend in my head. Love your style and your personality!! Wishing you much success and growth in this year and forward! ❤❤❤
Really enjoyed the discussions @ theblackbeautypanel CG. I'm Afro-European, living in London and I think... no I know that the US is miles ahead in terms of black hair & beauty innovation, products, you name it. So I actually learnt a lot listening to you and others eg Britt, the brand strategist. Good job speaking btw. Also your ring stack is always 💯. If you ever feel like doing a video on your jewellery collection 🙌🏾
Carolyn, I learned so much about you (career wise) in this vlog. Thanks for taking us along. I really enjoy your videos. I enjoyed seeing your man as well. You two are cute together. ❤
Enjoyed the video especially love how there are organisations led by and uplifting black creatives which is very far & few in the 🇬🇧...also you & your partner are so cute 💞
I've only been to New York City once in my whole little life, lol but thanks for taking us a long for the tour. That Saks looks like something out of a magazine, all the lights and stuff, lol Glad Carlos got what he wanted! I'm with him I don't pay retail for anything!!!!!!!!!
I try my best to show nyc in a fresh way because I’ve been here for so long that sometimes i get jaded. But yes I’m glad he splurged on hisself a bit. He will splurge on his mom and i but never hisself. We all like a good discount but sometimes these items sell out in our sizes so im glad we got things he wants and needs.
Friendly suggestion: cell phone parking or don’t arrive until 45 min in major airports to pick up. It takes 30 minutes to get off the plane after it lands😊😊
Yess new video! Also, I had a great time being on the panel with the black beauty club when they came to London, so I'm hoping your story ends well too
You are very good on panels. You get your point of view across so effectively in my opinion. Also can we get a hair care routine your hair is Lush! (Me asking with my bald headed self)
The conversation in regards Bey's marketing as it relates to skin tones and hair types is interesting. We as Black folk buy brands that have never had any person that looked like us in their campaigns(or very few inconsistently) yet we still continue to buy from them. Not only that but these companies also don't have any Black folk in decision making positions or the c-suite. I guess I understand folks undies getting in a bunch about Bey but not really as it seems a little hypocritical. My two cents that you didn't need to ask for..lol lol lol.
Thanks for sharing the panel. Interesting convo. B is so controversial. Some think she can do no wrong and some hate anything she does. She could sneeze and some would find it fake or annoying 😂 I’m skeptical of ALL celeb brands. I’ll wait to hear some reviews before purchasing but I do think that this venture makes the most sense out of all of her previous ventures given her close proximity to hair dressers. I say embrace the partnership. Highlight the experts (stylist, scientist, etc) that you worked with on product development. Were they black 👀 How many years of research, etc. I also agree with the concerns about skin care. How can you tell me a product works after one use. Ultimately consumers have to do their due diligence in learning about products and purchasing why works for you no matter who recommends it or who is the fave of the brand. I really enjoyed the amount of dialogue in this vlog ❤🍪
Carolyn, Why did you get me involved with this woman talking about her ex-husband... I am now watching and am totally obsessed and stressed out about her situation... This is all your fault girl! Bye the way, i find your videos delightful and am thankful that you are sharing your interests and life. Luv ya to pieces!
That brand strategist's spiel about Mrs Carter's product makes me feel so uncomfortable...more dialogue needs to happen around the intersection between black consciousness and identity and capitalism in white america and the murky, messy inbetween. If you think about it the beauty space is really BODMAS, that is, brackets of division, multiplication, addition and subtraction around DEI.
If you were nervous you never showed it. You were engaging and funny during the panels. The makeup is fierce. I watched all of wtf did I marry. Once she moved that stranger in after 2 weeks I knew it wasn't going to end well. Im all for exposing people but women have to vet these men. Some men are not looking for love but help. Women who have their stuff together need to be extra cautious.
Let’s face it: skin care 1. Takes a really long time to work. 2. Is extremely subtle. 3. Is extremely subjective. If the product is not terrible, we understand that you gotta get your coin. But that should maybe be stated more clearly. I would love to see brands use influencers and their community as product testing. Like - we see you have a wide appeal, here is product to pass out to your different cookies for feedback. Like here is a product for hyperpigmentation. Give it to your older cookies, your cookies who struggle with melasma, your cookies with acne marks to use for 30 days. Then do a live sort of zoom panel. I get that no brand wants to bank on the unknown but it would be soooo helpful
Beyoncé is just the name for the brand. No one woman can tell me that that woman knows anything about a formula for hair care or anything else that requires scientific knowledge. That woman was just like she said, she’s a member of the beehive so it’s just crazy how people will credit celebrities because she is a favorite of their with super powers. But in reality she’s just a name for Brand so they can get more money because of her name.
Beyoncé is NOT just the name of the brand; that woman is the founder and it would not exist without her. She’s a pop star, not a hairstylist, but her hair is an important aspect of her overall look so it makes sense she’d have picked up some things and be interested in figuring out what to do to make sure her natural hair stay healthy. Luckily, she had the sense to gather actual haircare professionals, scientists, etc to help her develop the brand. Have you noticed that the main people speaking to the press about the brand are the actual cosmetologists? Let’s use our brains, guys.
I totally enjoy whenever you do these vlogs around New York;I feel like I'm finally out of my freaking house!!!Don't be afraid of public speaking;I think you're great at it,and besides.....the audience is just a group of people like yourself,who;poo,pee and farts:sometimes all at once!!!I still can't believe that Saks flew out of Canada like a bat out of hell.....can you imagine?????😂😂😂😂
I just want to talk about the natural hair aspect of this vlog. I have been a natural for over 20 years. I use many black-owned products but most of them are not celebrity-owned. I have many reasons why, but one of them is what the lady on the panel said. they are out to make money. I don't know anything about Beyoncé's natural hair journey to buy her products.
Everyone who owns a product is out to make money. ALL of them. The vast majority of haircare brands aren’t sold based on the founders personal haircare journey; you either buy it or don’t based on the actual product, right? You don’t need access to Beyoncé to know whether you’re interested in the actual product.
Every black beauty club convo has an rsvp window of 5 minutes. I know so many black women who work in the beauty space who would love to be involved but it’s not that easy. A shame.
@@ITSCAROLYNGRAY I went and listened to that radio interview before even making the comment. Brittany's statement is still crazy though, even after listening (probably crazier). The level of hyperbole Brittany used made me think this alleged Beyoncé/Wendy Williams moment was bigger and more explosive than the Whitney Houston/Wendy interview 😵💫 I was like, "How on earth could I have missed THAT? 🤔" Because, to this day, I can VIVIDLY remember where I was when that Whitney & Wendy interview aired. So, I was really scratching my head wondering how I'd missed BEYONCE CALLING UP WENDY WILLIAMS TO CURSE HER OUT ON AIR 😐
🤔 PRADA MADE A BLACKFACE WINDOW, IRONICALLY GIVING YOU ALL A WINDOW INTO WHO THEY ARE, YET YOU SUPPORT THEIR RACISM ANYWAY 😐🤨 Conditioning or hegemony or the need to be accepted as “sophisticated” 😐 or all of the above? 📚📖♥️ From NYC, love to all. Bless.
Valid point. From what i understand they hired three black women right after they pulled the collection in high ranking positions to oversee change and health of the organization. For dei , marketing and something else i cant remember. They were one of the few brands that actually went straight to work on fixing their huge error and i believe two of them are still there if not all three plus more. I also know a few employees on the store level who have the brand in high regard for healthy treatment, pay, and training. So i can understand where many folks can remember that but I followed how they would rectify because I’m a Prada fan before their mess up and allow brands and ppl to learn, grow, change etc. I’m not big on cancel culture and cancel jail. I know I’ve made mistakes in the past and i would hate for anyone to box me in. But yea im a Prada beauty fan with this lipstick and if they mess up in the future then i will adjust my pov of them as i see fit. Just how you are able to make the decision for yourself. Hopefully no one will damn you for it.
Beyonce is not relatable. Rihanna has more personality and one can get a sense of who she is. As far as Beyonce's hair care line goes, you mean to tell me she couldn't use one dark skin woman with their texture hair in her campaign!? To me it's giving, we're catering more to people who don't cater to black people. I will support other black women who equally support black women as they do others. Dark skin women get left out as if they are "too black" and it's not right. That narrative needs to change.
She did tho. But correct, the narrative needs to change. Behavior and treatment of each other in our community need to change. We can be very ugly with each other and choose to misunderstand so much more than we choose to take a step back and see the layers of hurt, systemic effects on people before taking action or creating a complete opinion. However every person has a tribe of people that can relate to them and tribe that doesn’t.
@@ITSCAROLYNGRAY correct, everyone does have a tribe of people that can relate to them and a tribe that does not. I relate to the tribe that includes everyone. I also am learning that a person's name can be attached to something/product, but that person might not be the creative director and/or designer behind the brand. However, I'm sure they get to see what the products entails as well as the marketing tactics that are being used, and the message that's being delivered to the consumers. I'm not necessarily talking about any specific person at this point, but I think as you have stated there are layers of hurt, and creatives need to be mindful of messages that sends exclusions of others.
You have sold me on the lipstick, thanks! One can never have too many red lipsticks.
