Speaker 3: That's my outfit.

7
00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:23,520
Speaker 1: Well, the founder of Black Girl Sunscreen, I have to say,

8
00:00:23,720 --> 00:00:25,720
Speaker 1: Shanty Lundy is here, and a lot has happened since

9
00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:26,760
Speaker 1: the last time I've seen you.

10
00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:29,120
Speaker 3: Yes, uh, And the last time I saw you was

11
00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:30,159
Speaker 3: what about a month or.

12
00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:31,560
Speaker 2: Two, and a lot has happened.

13
00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:33,720
Speaker 3: And a lot has happened. Black Girls Sunscreen we did

14
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:38,760
Speaker 3: an iconic partnership with the Disney's Little Mermaid that has

15
00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:42,839
Speaker 3: launched across the United States in all all the stores.

16
00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:48,479
Speaker 3: That is a huge Yeah. You know, everyone keeps saying that,

17
00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:51,520
Speaker 3: and I needed second to process it all because Black

18
00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:54,080
Speaker 3: Girls Sunscreen has worked really hard to get to this moment.

19
00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:56,720
Speaker 3: It didn't just kind of like come our way and

20
00:00:56,720 --> 00:00:59,040
Speaker 3: like land on our lap. There was a lot of

21
00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:02,960
Speaker 3: just energy and work that was put into the brand,

22
00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:07,959
Speaker 3: the building of the brand, the presence, and the awareness

23
00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:10,679
Speaker 3: to even have Disney say, okay, let's jump in Black

24
00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:13,440
Speaker 3: Girl Sunscreens inbox, right our reputation.

25
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:16,680
Speaker 1: Wow, that's how it happened. They jumped in your inbox.

26
00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:19,160
Speaker 1: Because I don't recall it Disney ever doing something like

27
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:19,679
Speaker 1: this before.

28
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:22,880
Speaker 3: No, it is one of the first. Right, So there

29
00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:25,920
Speaker 3: were actually two black owned brands that did this collab

30
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:31,600
Speaker 3: with Disney US and Carol's daughter. So, but I think

31
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:33,920
Speaker 3: it takes a lot for them to say, this is

32
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:35,880
Speaker 3: who we're going to reach out to. Right they have

33
00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:38,880
Speaker 3: a Black Girls Sunscreen, had a dialed in community. Our

34
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:42,119
Speaker 3: message resignates with the community, and they're doing great stuff,

35
00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:44,000
Speaker 3: and this is who we want to align ourselves with

36
00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:48,200
Speaker 3: and able to, you know, bring the messaging forward of

37
00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:50,640
Speaker 3: The Little Mermaid, right, Like, what community is going to

38
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:53,200
Speaker 3: get behind it? And this is the community that matches

39
00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:54,120
Speaker 3: to get behind it.

40
00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:57,360
Speaker 1: And by the way, the Little Mermaid is an iconic

41
00:01:57,440 --> 00:02:01,000
Speaker 1: movie to be involved, but just for so many different reasons, right,

42
00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:04,720
Speaker 1: Like we've seen all of the controversy quote unquote controversy

43
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:08,600
Speaker 1: that I felt was disgusting, you know, people having issues

44
00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:11,840
Speaker 1: with Hallie Belly playing the Little Mermaid and acting like,

45
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:15,880
Speaker 1: you know, a Mermaid was a real white person, right, Yeah,

46
00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:17,760
Speaker 1: like that, how could it. But for it to go

47
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:20,040
Speaker 1: on and do the numbers that it did and even

48
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:22,000
Speaker 1: surpassed the original is amazing.

49
00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:22,800
Speaker 2: It's dope.

50
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:25,720
Speaker 3: Yeah. I was watching the numbers over over the weekend

51
00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:28,520
Speaker 3: Memorial Day weekend and was number five over all top

52
00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:32,600
Speaker 3: Memorial Day releases, which is that's huge. It's super huge.

53
00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:35,160
Speaker 3: The community showed up and we have to continue to

54
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:37,320
Speaker 3: show up, not just for the movie, but all for

55
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:41,120
Speaker 3: all partnerships. I will say this, you know, talking about

56
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:44,560
Speaker 3: the point of the discuss in terms of her race

57
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:48,520
Speaker 3: internationally didn't do well, right because female lead and then

58
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:53,680
Speaker 3: of color. Not everybody is accepting of this role. And

59
00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:54,520
Speaker 3: it's unfortunate.

60
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:57,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, because by the way, mermaids are not real. I

61
00:02:57,160 --> 00:02:57,840
Speaker 1: don't know, I don't know.

62
00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:01,880
Speaker 2: The memo has to be a certain color. It's crazy.

63
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:05,320
Speaker 1: And I do want to talk about the packaging though,

64
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:07,840
Speaker 1: by the way, because you do have some special packaging

65
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:10,120
Speaker 1: for everybody that is listening, so this might be something

66
00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:11,720
Speaker 1: that you want to pick up. I was getting in

67
00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:13,200
Speaker 1: the face of the other day and the one thing

68
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:15,720
Speaker 1: they said, I have to make sure that I'm continuing

69
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:18,960
Speaker 1: put sunscreen on my face every day because sometimes I

70
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:19,720
Speaker 1: slack in that.

71
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:21,040
Speaker 2: But we'll talk about that in a second.

72
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:23,920
Speaker 1: But let's talk about the special the Little Mermaid packaging

73
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:24,360
Speaker 1: that you have.

74
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:27,360
Speaker 3: It's limited, Yeah, it is limited, and shout out to

75
00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:32,480
Speaker 3: our product development team for making that vision come true.

76
00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:35,960
Speaker 3: I'll tell you it's not easy with these partnerships because

77
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:38,560
Speaker 3: we actually had to fight for that right, because there's

78
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:42,360
Speaker 3: certain additions that you have to adhere to when you're

79
00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:45,600
Speaker 3: in a category. In black Old sunscreen, we said, hey,

80
00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:49,440
Speaker 3: this is what we'll resonate with our consumer more right,

81
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:51,560
Speaker 3: this is what we actually wanted design too, So we

82
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:55,200
Speaker 3: had to go through several layers of approval to use

83
00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:57,840
Speaker 3: this packaging, and then we came up with the colors.

84
00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:00,840
Speaker 3: We said, we want to do something completely op of

85
00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:04,880
Speaker 3: what Black Girls Sunscreen is known for. Now. The caveat

86
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:08,080
Speaker 3: to that is when you go into the store, we

87
00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:12,000
Speaker 3: don't necessarily know if the consumer associates Black Girl Sunscreen

88
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:17,800
Speaker 3: as that because it's so different, right, so pretty, so

89
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:22,920
Speaker 3: like eye catching and whimsical, but do they know it's

90
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:25,640
Speaker 3: Black Girls sunscreen? So now we're trying to, you know,

91
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:29,039
Speaker 3: talk about it, make it be visible and have the

92
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:32,640
Speaker 3: consumer purchase it. But it's not all that easy, right. Yeah.

93
00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:34,760
Speaker 1: Wow, that's something to think about because you do want

94
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:37,200
Speaker 1: to have that affiliation, but at the same time you

95
00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:39,120
Speaker 1: want to make it look different, make it look limited,

96
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:41,240
Speaker 1: but then you also want people to know this is

97
00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:43,800
Speaker 1: a black girl's sunscreen and make sure when this isn't

98
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:45,840
Speaker 1: available anymore, you're still with us.

99
00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:48,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, it could have been like a slight change maybe

100
00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:52,520
Speaker 3: like the logoist gold as opposed to purple, but we

101
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:54,880
Speaker 3: went with purple because it went with it right, It

102
00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:58,000
Speaker 3: made it really cohesive. But we're all really proud of

103
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:02,320
Speaker 3: of the packaging and that's just one element, right you

104
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:06,840
Speaker 3: have marketing. We're on this like huge gigantic tour. We're

105
00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:08,400
Speaker 3: in New York for a few events, but one of

106
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:12,040
Speaker 3: them we did in uh on thirty fourth Street in

107
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:17,600
Speaker 3: Alta activation. So we have three more of them. So

108
00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:21,120
Speaker 3: the next one is in Dallas. We'll be in New

109
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:22,800
Speaker 3: Orleans during essence.

110
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:25,000
Speaker 1: We're on a New Orleans shout out to everybody, shout

111
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:26,320
Speaker 1: out to my girl uptown Angela.

112
00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:31,760
Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, so it continues to go right like this is.

113
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:34,919
Speaker 3: It's been a seven month journey, so that's a really

114
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:39,039
Speaker 3: fast turnaround in production. That is because you have Again,

115
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:40,960
Speaker 3: you have to go through so many different levels of

116
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:44,880
Speaker 3: approval and then to get product you know, made, go

117
00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:48,440
Speaker 3: through the supply chain and then get it to stores. Yes,

118
00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:52,360
Speaker 3: it'll be super easy for your next one. Right. So

119
00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:55,680
Speaker 3: so now, so the feedback has been this has been

120
00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:58,960
Speaker 3: the collab that we all needed, right, This has literally

121
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:02,040
Speaker 3: been Headlines Color that we've we've all needed, the best

122
00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:05,320
Speaker 3: collab we've seen in whatever years. So it's kind of like,

123
00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:09,680
Speaker 3: what is next, What is a collab that we're like, Okay,

124
00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:11,599
Speaker 3: this is a no brainer. But I will say that

125
00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:14,480
Speaker 3: this was not necessarily a no brainer for Black Girls Sunscreen.

126
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:15,919
Speaker 3: We took a vote in the company.

127
00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:16,840
Speaker 2: No you did not.

128
00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:18,680
Speaker 3: We absolutely did. I open up a lot.

129
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:20,120
Speaker 2: Of decisions to our team.

130
00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:23,320
Speaker 3: Right because I know somebody said no absolutely, there was

131
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:24,200
Speaker 3: like three or four people.

132
00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:26,000
Speaker 2: Oh and that's.

133
00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:28,719
Speaker 3: Fine, I know for for different reasons, For different reasons.

134
00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:31,560
Speaker 3: I think sometimes going into the unknown is a little scary.

135
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:34,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, we won't be a reason to say no, I'm just curious.

136
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:37,880
Speaker 3: I think going into the unknown is you could be

137
00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:41,680
Speaker 3: a little apprehensive. You know, what's the return? You know,

138
00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:44,159
Speaker 3: going on there, what's the return?

139
00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:48,200
Speaker 1: Because it is also you think, right it might not

140
00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:50,080
Speaker 1: be as much of a return, but it's also a

141
00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:53,880
Speaker 1: huge marketing push, so it's kind of like a more

142
00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:55,359
Speaker 1: than a balance out of that, and.

143
00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:59,880
Speaker 3: I would imagine it raises the profile of Black Girl's Sunscreen. Yeah,

144
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:04,080
Speaker 3: you know in terms of just working with high caliber organizations.

145
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:06,680
Speaker 3: That's really what elevates it. So it's not just you know,

146
00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:08,680
Speaker 3: the Disneys of the world, but it could be you know,

147
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:11,320
Speaker 3: way up with Angela, like an iHeart right, it could

148
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:14,800
Speaker 3: be you know, our USC collaboration. There's just so many

149
00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:18,640
Speaker 3: ways that Black Girls Sunscreens positions themselves to capture an

150
00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:23,400
Speaker 3: audience and to continue to grow with that organization. So

151
00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:27,840
Speaker 3: the no's I think are just more about we don't

152
00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:31,240
Speaker 3: we're unknown. I can't speak for anybody, right, I was

153
00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:34,400
Speaker 3: everybody has their hand down on both sides because I

154
00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:37,280
Speaker 3: wanted to see who wanted to do what, and also

155
00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:40,920
Speaker 3: like the workload, like this is another level. Yeah, oh yeah,

156
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:43,080
Speaker 3: so you're no longer really moving to the beat of

157
00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:45,400
Speaker 3: Black Girls Sunscreen, which you're moving to the beat of

158
00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:46,880
Speaker 3: this different organization.

159
00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:51,680
Speaker 1: Who got the DM uh chante Okay, so you saw

160
00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:53,680
Speaker 1: the DM No, it.

161
00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:57,160
Speaker 3: Was an email, it was the email. My reaction was,

162
00:07:57,200 --> 00:08:00,680
Speaker 3: so we were actually tapped to do another film for Disney.

163
00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:03,680
Speaker 3: So I wasn't really that surprised in that film. I

164
00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:05,960
Speaker 3: really wanted to do it, just in terms of when

165
00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:08,160
Speaker 3: it hit the box office. It didn't the line with

166
00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:12,240
Speaker 3: Sunscreen Season, so we entertained it, but we entertained it,

167
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:15,280
Speaker 3: but then we passed on it. How did that feel?

168
00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:19,240
Speaker 1: Because you're so chill all the time, I can imagine

169
00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:21,880
Speaker 1: you getting like, do you ever be like?

170
00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:25,520
Speaker 3: Not so much? Because I feel like Angela, when you

171
00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:26,880
Speaker 3: work hard, these things.

172
00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:29,800
Speaker 1: Come yeah, right, But I still get excited over things

173
00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:31,920
Speaker 1: like I work hard, but I get so excited when

174
00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:35,120
Speaker 1: I honestly like, I feel like I celebrate every little

175
00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:35,600
Speaker 1: good for.

176
00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:38,240
Speaker 3: You, good for you. I was excited for first time

177
00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:39,520
Speaker 3: going to a Hollywood premiere.

178
00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:42,880
Speaker 1: I saw the dress, by the way, amazing, You looked amazing, And.

179
00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:46,440
Speaker 3: I appreciate that Carrie is snapping, but over there, I

180
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:49,240
Speaker 3: really appreciate that because there's some backstory behind that dress.

181
00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:52,120
Speaker 3: But you know that the glitz and the glam and

182
00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:54,760
Speaker 3: all the stops that Disney pulls out to promote their

183
00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:58,439
Speaker 3: their movie is phenomenal, right, So I was definitely excited

184
00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:02,520
Speaker 3: about that moment. And being able to celebrate, you know,

185
00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:06,480
Speaker 3: just the the highlighting of a of a of a

186
00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:08,960
Speaker 3: of a black woman in this this key role.

187
00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:10,959
Speaker 2: Now we need to know the backstory behind the dress.

188
00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:16,880
Speaker 3: Well, there's this area called called Santy Alley in La

189
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:19,960
Speaker 3: The alley, yeah, I don't. I don't call it the alley,

190
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:23,000
Speaker 3: right because I've been there for five years and it's

191
00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:25,320
Speaker 3: just kind of like you know, wholesale stories, right, and

192
00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:27,400
Speaker 3: they have like this nice kind of row of dress shops.

193
00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:29,480
Speaker 3: So I said I was going to go there for inspo.

194
00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:31,760
Speaker 3: I just wanted to see what was what was going on.

195
00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:34,440
Speaker 3: So I went down there and that was the first

196
00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:38,000
Speaker 3: dress I saw in the alley, the first one, the

197
00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:40,760
Speaker 3: first one, and I picked it out and I looked

198
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:42,000
Speaker 3: at it and I didn't want to try it on

199
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:46,720
Speaker 3: because you know what stuff on an alley, okay. And

200
00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:49,640
Speaker 3: so they had a catalog of dresses and I was like, okay,

201
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:51,920
Speaker 3: let me just take a picture of the catalog. And

202
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:53,800
Speaker 3: it was pretty pricey. And she's like, if you leave

203
00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:56,280
Speaker 3: a deposit, no refunds in exchanges, you got to come

204
00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:58,360
Speaker 3: back for the dress. I'm like, I don't even know

205
00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:01,959
Speaker 3: if I want this ship, so any I go back

206
00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:05,000
Speaker 3: home right on that Saturday, and I'm like, looking at

207
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:07,480
Speaker 3: the picture that I took, I'm like, oh, there's a designer,

208
00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:09,840
Speaker 3: because I don't know there was like oh, my mind

209
00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:11,360
Speaker 3: was all jumpled up, Like what if somebody ask me

210
00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:13,960
Speaker 3: what I'm wearing? Am I gonna say Sandy? Yeah? Yeah,

211
00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:16,920
Speaker 3: you would have said Sea Yeah, yeah, Okay. So I

212
00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:20,520
Speaker 3: found the designer on Instagram and I actually d am

213
00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:23,560
Speaker 3: the designer. He sent the dress oh so so yes,

214
00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:25,040
Speaker 3: I found it on santy. Yeah.

215
00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:26,920
Speaker 2: But then you went to the design I went.

216
00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:30,480
Speaker 3: To the designer, and I think that for me it

217
00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:33,040
Speaker 3: was like people, you might sleep on this area because

218
00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:36,920
Speaker 3: it's you know, lower income, wholesale whatever, but they have

219
00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:39,760
Speaker 3: some good fines. And that's the backstory. Nobody would have

220
00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:41,520
Speaker 3: ever known that I got.

221
00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:45,280
Speaker 1: That dress for the little murmaids, like the garment District.

222
00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:46,760
Speaker 2: That's amazing. I love that.

223
00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:47,440
Speaker 3: Yeah.

224
00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:50,680
Speaker 1: Now, as you're talking about Sunscreen season, because it is

225
00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:53,280
Speaker 1: that season now, I was just telling you earlier about

226
00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:55,600
Speaker 1: the face I got and the importance of sun screen,

227
00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:57,920
Speaker 1: because I want to make sure we always talk about that,

228
00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:01,080
Speaker 1: right because part of why you have Black Girl Sunscreen,

229
00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:03,040
Speaker 1: it's because you want to make sure that we do

230
00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:05,600
Speaker 1: preventive things so that we don't get skin cancer, we

231
00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:08,240
Speaker 1: don't get melanoma and things like that. You know, we've

232
00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:10,360
Speaker 1: said this before and I just want to always drive

233
00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:14,079
Speaker 1: this point home though. Just because we have melanin or

234
00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:16,760
Speaker 1: darker skin does not mean that we do not use sunscreen.

235
00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:20,040
Speaker 3: Yeah. So we're coming off of Skin Cancer Awareness Month,

236
00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:24,240
Speaker 3: and that's when so I feel like skin cancer wearenes

237
00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:27,120
Speaker 3: month is equivalent to almost Black History months, where it

238
00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:30,520
Speaker 3: should be acknowledged every single month or every single day.

239
00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:34,480
Speaker 3: And our push there was it was it was interesting

240
00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:36,600
Speaker 3: because we had all of the little Mermaid stuff happening

241
00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:39,000
Speaker 3: at the same time, So like, what was that balance?

242
00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:41,320
Speaker 3: How do we how do we keep our core reason

243
00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:43,760
Speaker 3: of why we are in business and what we're talking

244
00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:47,000
Speaker 3: to our community about at the forefront while having this

245
00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:50,960
Speaker 3: crazy big launch. Right, So now we're just back to

246
00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:55,400
Speaker 3: regular business as usual talking about preventative measures. We don't

247
00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:58,800
Speaker 3: necessarily talk about melanoma because we don't want to scare anyone.

248
00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:01,680
Speaker 3: If you use your your some protection on a daily basis,

249
00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:03,920
Speaker 3: then you should be good. If you're getting your annual

250
00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:06,760
Speaker 3: you know, skin checks, then you should be good. So

251
00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:10,359
Speaker 3: you know. Some of our partners are the George Washington University.

252
00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:13,840
Speaker 3: We do a Learned to Derm event every year and

253
00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:20,080
Speaker 3: what they do is they administer skin checkups to the community.

254
00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:22,880
Speaker 3: It's a low income area. They do that for free.

255
00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:26,560
Speaker 3: I think it's great with other sunscreen brands, so it's

256
00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:29,560
Speaker 3: not just Black Girls Sunscreen. They have the gamut because

257
00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:31,720
Speaker 3: they want people to understand that like, hey, there are

258
00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:34,839
Speaker 3: so many different options here. We partner with the American

259
00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:38,880
Speaker 3: Cancer Dermatologists Group right to talk about it, and we've

260
00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:45,240
Speaker 3: also vetted dermatologists and students to talk about the importance

261
00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:48,440
Speaker 3: of sun safety. Really cool thing though, and this is

262
00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:51,840
Speaker 3: how like small the world is to just small the

263
00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:56,200
Speaker 3: world is. Black Girls Sunscreen. We did a scholarship for

264
00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:59,640
Speaker 3: some dorm students at Howard University, right, and there were

265
00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:03,280
Speaker 3: six recipients of this scholarship and we did the learn

266
00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:07,599
Speaker 3: to Dorm event. One of the recipients was at the

267
00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:10,480
Speaker 3: Learn to doeram and she was so excited to see

268
00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:13,440
Speaker 3: Black Girl Sunscreen and said, thank you for helping me

269
00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:17,080
Speaker 3: get through my bar exam. Right. So these are the

270
00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:20,400
Speaker 3: things that Black Girl Sunscreen is doing to say, hey,

271
00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:24,000
Speaker 3: here's the forefront here's the first one in defense of

272
00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:27,680
Speaker 3: who's going to be talking about sunscreen within the black

273
00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:30,640
Speaker 3: community and the brown community. So that's what we're up to.

274
00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:33,880
Speaker 1: And then make it Matt SPF forty five and the

275
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:36,880
Speaker 1: SPF thirty lotion. Important thing also, by the way of

276
00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:39,480
Speaker 1: what I love about about Black Girls sunscreen is sometimes

277
00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:42,839
Speaker 1: in the past, right when I've used products, it can

278
00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:47,000
Speaker 1: really get your skin to be clogged. Okay, well, talking too, Yes,

279
00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:49,000
Speaker 1: I think the main thing about Black Girls sunscreen is

280
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:52,520
Speaker 1: it's not chalky, but also clogging your pores up because

281
00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:55,200
Speaker 1: sometimes afterwards you'll get like a breakout, but with Black

282
00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:56,600
Speaker 1: Girls sunscreen that doesn't happen.

283
00:13:56,800 --> 00:14:01,559
Speaker 3: Noncommunogetic is I believe how you pronounce it right, So

284
00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:03,920
Speaker 3: I think it just depends on which product you use,

285
00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:08,480
Speaker 3: and we want all of our products to be that way, right.

286
00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:11,920
Speaker 3: We want to serve as something that is right for

287
00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:14,120
Speaker 3: your skin. We don't want to clog your pores. We

288
00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:16,600
Speaker 3: don't want to leave a white residue. We only want

289
00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:20,160
Speaker 3: you to feel as great as possible while using our products.

290
00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:23,480
Speaker 3: So I appreciate you saying that it doesn't clog your pores,

291
00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:25,400
Speaker 3: because that's actually not Okay.

292
00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:26,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, now that's an important thing for me.

293
00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:29,000
Speaker 1: I used to hate putting sunscreen on my face, like

294
00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:31,680
Speaker 1: I would put it everywhere else but my face because

295
00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:34,320
Speaker 1: it would make me break out and I would you know,

296
00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:36,120
Speaker 1: but this, I could use it every single day.

297
00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:37,720
Speaker 2: How are you supposed to use it every day?

298
00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:39,520
Speaker 3: How do you feel about browning? How do you feel about,

299
00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:41,120
Speaker 3: you know, getting a little bit darker?

300
00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:41,680
Speaker 2: I love that?

301
00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:44,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, me too, but I don't want to get burned,

302
00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:47,680
Speaker 1: like I want to make sure that I'm getting my son.

303
00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:49,040
Speaker 2: Listen.

304
00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:51,320
Speaker 1: I know people who have gone on vacation and put

305
00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:53,640
Speaker 1: on oil on their face to try to get darker

306
00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:55,720
Speaker 1: and not put on SPF, or they use the tanning

307
00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:58,520
Speaker 1: oil and don't use any SPF, and that's not a

308
00:14:58,560 --> 00:14:59,160
Speaker 1: safe thing to do.

309
00:14:59,520 --> 00:14:59,720
Speaker 3: Wow.

310
00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:00,600
Speaker 2: Yeah.

311
00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:03,960
Speaker 3: While then my mother used to use a tanning like

312
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:05,000
