After the world is done raving about 🇨🇩 DR. Congo’s grand arrival and fashion look for the World Cup, please also take the time to educate yourselves about our issues and amplify our voices. DR. Congo is currently undergoing a genocide and one of its worst Ebola outbreaks.
I really admire how the makeup community has come together to shower Esther with love & unwavering support. From brands, to magazines, to MUAs, to supporters everybody is continuously reminding her no matter what SHE is the innovator. If you ask me this has completely overshadowed Patrick’s blushes.
By the way, Kevyn Aucoin launched his makeup line 20 years into his career. Pat McGrath launched her makeup line 25 years into her career. Give people, give Esther time.
It’ll always be.. eye opening to me the grace given to them folks but not our own. Anyway shop Juvia’s place a safe space for black and brown women to shop great blushes 🩷
I’m so glad @paintedbyesthr responded. It shows that his team was being devious and sneaky.
Someone on Patrick Ta’s team tried to book her and record her smh
So now a white physician has sued the online directory “Find A Black Doctor”, arguing that limiting participation to Black physicians constitutes racial discrimination.
On its surface, the argument appears straightforward — should a physician directory be allowed to restrict membership based on race?
But hold on.
That framing misses the REAL question we should be asking—
Why did Black patients feel they need a directory like this in the first place?
Let’s go there.
