Beauty Take #1

Today I’m launching a short summer section of the newsletter ☀️ It’ll go out 4 days a week until the end of August.

There are so many small, short social posts I see while digging for news that make me pause — or make me want to say everything. I’ll share one Instagram post, TikTok, Tweet, image, video, or weird emblem on the internet I think you should know about — but keep it short. Viral or not, it made me think, laugh, or both. Maybe I learned something new. Maybe it just inspired me. Always feel free to leave a comment or reply to me!

I’m starting with a collection of Black girls with ginger, auburn, reddish colored hair because:
