Catalyst: Inclusion, Advocacy Work, and DEI for Aspiring Disruptors.

6: Youthphoria & Tar in a Bottle

Nike Aurea

In this episode, we delved into the Youthforia scandal, where the makeup company faced backlash for releasing what many dubbed "tar in a bottle" — a foundation shade lacking in diversity and representation. 

Throughout the discussion, we explored the systemic issues underlying Youthforia's misstep and the historical context of shade inclusivity. Nike talks about the importance of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) strategies for brands, emphasizing the need for community engagement, diverse representation, and transparency.

We also examined the impact of the scandal on the beauty landscape and discussed actionable steps for listeners to advocate for inclusivity and hold brands accountable. From supporting inclusive brands to amplifying marginalized voices, we highlighted the power of consumer activism in driving meaningful change.

Tune in for more insights, updates, and discussions on all things beauty in future episodes.
