"Okay, I could not wait to discuss this. This is so major, major, the biggest beauty news of the week, guys. Just get right into it. But also the biggest news in luxury. In fashion, Estee Lauder companies bought Tom Ford. The brand. The brand for $2.8 billion. Now, we know that Estee Lauder companies has had a long-standing licensing agreement for fragrance with Tom Ford. For their cosmetics and their skin care. But they are also going to be owning the fashion, the eyewear, the whole kit and caboodle. So when this deal closes, marklin, the Italian group that owns the license for Tom Ford eyewear, Markland is going to be paying $250 million to Estee Lauder at the end of that. Now zenya, they have the license to produce and distribute Tom Ford's menswear. But they're also going to become Estee Lauder's sole license for Tom Ford's menswear, women's wear as well as accessories, jewelry, children's wear, which I didn't know Tom Ford had children's wear, but they're gonna have the license for that, or maybe I don't know, maybe they have children where they will, I don't know. So my bad for not knowing that. Home wearers and responsibility for its stores and it shows and they're gonna make sure that basically it's Tom Ford remains luxury and they're gonna have basically everything in that stockholder meeting with you. I mean, this is like, this is a tremendous deal. So what's interesting if you weren't aware, Tom Ford beauty is the biggest part of the Tom Ford business. Fashion is actually a really small part of the brand's portfolio. Fragrance is the bigger chunk of the beauty business. But Estee Lauder is now going to own everything outright. So what's interesting is that a lot of brands are looking for other areas of growth, especially in China, which has been a big part of luxury beauty. China's actually had a lot of difficulty because there's been a lot of pandemic restrictions. According to The New York Times, Tom Ford, the man is contracted to stay on with the brand at the end of 2023. Now what that looks like after that, we don't know. Obviously Tom Ford has a real cult of personality with the brand. So what that looks like after that, we don't know. Will it still be fucking fabulous? I mean, Tom Ford. Guys. Perfume name. Tom Ford, I mean, is Tom Ford is Tom Ford, it sounds a bit silly, but what that could look like in the future really is anybody's guess. Major, major news, very exciting. Just goes to show how powerful Tom Ford's fragrance business is as well. Perfume will triumph. Yeah. So anyway, that is easily the biggest news story of the week, probably easily the year. So Jen, I'm going to take over the science corner this week. Okay. I'll

"Okay, Tom Ford is so rich, y'all. So rich. Billions of billions of dollars. Yes, and this is actually a pretty big news in the beauty industry because, okay, I'll just read this headline. Tom Ford is a newly minted billionaire thanks to the $2.8 billion Estee Lauder deal. So this is interesting because they have been licensing Tom Ford beauty este has for years. Does that mean that they are making the products yes, I read that they manufacture distribute and license his name. So this is CNN business. A blockbuster deal to sell his eponymous fashion brand has catapulted fashion designer Tom Ford into the global billionaire's club. Ford 61, I always forget he's 60. Yeah, he looks so good. He does. Who launched the Tom Ford brand in 2005 and grew it into a luxury clothing and accessories powerhouse sold his company Tuesday to Estee Lauder companies in a deal valued at 2.8 billion. The acquisition of Tom Ford brands by Estee Lauder is expected to close in the first half of next year, pending regulatory approvals, and it will fully integrate Tom before brands, which already has an ongoing partnership with the cosmetic and skin care giant into Estee Lauder's diverse portfolio. Estee has been partners with Tom Ford beauty for 15 years because they launch Tom Ford beauty together in 2006. Okay? So now it's not just beauty, but they've acquired his luxury clothing and accessories portfolio as well, which is a very big deal for Estee Lauder because this is getting them into the fashion game. And now what a lot of people are talking about is that finally a brand like LVMH has somewhat of a competitor in this category because LVMH benefits owned by LVMH, fresh beauty is owned by LVMH. It's like literally like Louis Vuitton. Vuitton. So it's really interesting to see Estee getting into this category. And I think only from here it will start to expand. They may even get into spirits similar to LVMH. So that's why this is such a big deal. So people who are in the comments that are like, oh, this is going to change Tom Ford formulation. No, it's not going to change anything because they've been making it for the last 15 years.

"Okay, let's do the news. So, Victoria's Secret introduced their first fragrance in 5 years. It's called. Oh, I'm sorry, was I supposed to cheer and clap? Yeah. Dramatic pause. I did kind of pause dramatically. And I didn't get I didn't get yet to get the cheers. I was looking for. Well, listen, it's called bear. And it's made with upcycled materials and responsibly sourced ingredients. It's created by sim rise master perfumers naturally been a row and I hope I'm pronouncing your name correctly Natalie and Carlos vinay. Listen, it is technologically interesting. It's made. It's the first fragrance on the market to use something called crypto sim, crypto sim. It's a technology that VS says can encrypt sent formulations. It sounds very crypto. It sounds very cryptic. But basically, what they say is that it's basically allows you to have this one of a kind fragrance. It can encrypt sent formulations. I think the whole idea is that it smells different on everyone. So I'm not really, I really just kind of want to smell it myself and tell you firsthand. So I need to get my paws on this fragrance myself. The idea is that it's going to be relatable and unique to everyone who wears it says Kristen lagoa, who's the VP of marketing. Sorry, VP of merchant beauty and accessories at Victoria's Secret. She says it's about a quiet confidence that a quiet confidence that comes from knowing your authentic self and celebrates individuality in its most natural form. So that's all well and good. That's the marketing stuff. I want to talk about the ad. So this is where the podcast medium fails us a little bit. But the ad is so different than anything I've ever seen from Victoria's Secret. It is a bunch of different women wearing nothing, they're bare. All different types of women, their social advocates, artists, creatives. There's even an herbalist in the mix. And it's shot by Zoe gertner, who, if you know anything a little bit about Zoe gertner, she's a still life photographer who's fully famous for shooting women and really powerful. She's not a traditionally sexy photographer. She's a very high fashion photographer. She shoots for brands like Dior and Chanel, really elevated. The row. It's not that traditionally sexy kind of brand. Portfolio. I don't know how many times they have to tell us how many ways that they are pivoting over a victorious. Yes. It's like everything is so opposite of what they do. Well, I think we need to stop saying what they do because this is their new brand. I had to say, though, as I was reading about this and you were talking about it, I was like, sounds a lot like the launch wording and theme and strategy for another big perfume, perhaps you've heard of it glossier, you. Remember it was all about visuality, smells different on everyone, not saying it smells like skin. And we're going to order to we'll do a little live sniff test. I think that would be fun. We'll do that once they come in. What do you say? I would love to do that. I think I get why they're doing it. They get what they had to make a hard left. They had to do a hard left. I am reserving judgment. I haven't smelled it. Okay. Bobby Brown has a new job. She has chief creative adviser at Augustus batter. So, I mean, she is one busy woman. She's always got something called in. You know, she just logged Jones road a few years ago. And now she got a new project. So she told women's wear daily, like everything I'm involved with, things happen organically on authentically. It started because she has a very close relationship with the CFO, David nass, who was her CFO, all the years that she was with Bobby. So when it was owned by Estee Lauder companies, that makes sense. I was wondering what was going on there. He went over to work with botter and she at first never heard of it and then of course he sent her the rich cream and she was like, what is this? She used it, she thought, oh my gosh. I can get anything gifted to me and I was like, this is the greatest thing. She saw an instant difference the first time. She used it, and she became a super fam. So what does her new job entail? Product ideation, educational programs, promotional activations, marquee events, and more according to WWD. Are we going to see anything a Jones road collaboration with batter? She says, never say never. Let's head over to justice at business desk.

"Jared blandino, founder of two faced, is leaving the company. Yes, he and Jeremy, his partner, both in the company and in life, they are leaving two faced and I'm a little shocked, I guess I shouldn't be surprised to face sold to Estee Lauder companies over 5 years ago. We talk about that epic celebration all the time. Yes, besides it cosmetics. I think like the hugest largest acquisition, it was over a $1 billion, right? It was crazy. And it was at the height of Instagram makeup when two faced was just owned that space, like better than Sussex mascara, sweet peach. Yeah, I do love the sweet peach palette, yes. Like top three eyeshadow palettes ever. They're just such a successful successful company. All thanks to Kirby said, Jared and his husband, Jeremy. They started at 24 years ago. Yes. I mean, they were working in a mall selling their products, essentially. So they've built so much. I don't know what to think. I just feel like we're going to start to see this. It's like a lot of exits from people who created these companies and ended up selling. Wendy's on her for those of you that may not know is no longer affiliated with urban decay. She left the company, which is also interesting because she didn't record any sort of official farewell. It was a very quiet exit that Kirby and I actually only found out recently through conversations with current urban decay. People at urban. So it's nice that Jared is able to sort of like say goodbye, say goodbye, kind of control that narrative, you know? Yeah, I felt like he was very transparent about what was going on. I did not expect that, but basically he posted a couple minute video on his Instagram, y'all can go watch it. It's at Jared blandino on Instagram, but he said, you know, when they were acquired by Estee Lauder companies, they had never worked in such a corporate environment before. I mean, imagine like imagine running your own company for so long and then being bought out by a major corporation and then no longer being able to control it in the or run it the way that you are used to doing it. To anyone that would be like a shock, right? Yes. And I feel like because of how corporate works, you're not able to execute quickly. There's too many cooks in the kitchen, so much red tape, so many people approving so many layers and levels. I should say, Jared basically said, in so many words, that they felt restricted. They felt they couldn't be as creative as they would like to be. And that they are not done. Yeah, yeah. Okay, so we know that typically when you sell your company to a brand, you sign some sort of contract for 5 years and that period you can not start your own competing brand in the category. So this would be obviously cosmetics, probably skin care as well. Maybe that had to do with her quiet sudden exit, right? I mean, that would be breach of contract if she did sign something like that. So would you get forced out or would you be penalized financially in some way? I don't think she would do anything that could potentially jeopardize Cali ray. No. You know what I'm saying? That's why I'm like, how does this work? Does anybody have Intel call the hotline?.

"Up to get into the emerging metaverse? I think it's two things. I think they finally got that they should have been a player in web two. They finally realized, wow, there's a lot of potential revenue opportunity here in a lot of potential eyeballs. And some of them miss the boat, right? Some of them just didn't go with it. And you know, they're still very relevant because it's still luxury, right? That we can not get away from that. There's still an element of allure and importance with the luxury. But I think that the brands that I talk to and I do a lot of work with many luxury fashion brands and some of them I can disclose some I can't. But I think that they're interested in understanding the consumer of the future, right? And understanding where the younger generations the Jen alphas, you know, Gen Z is what would Jen alpha really were their inhabiting, what are their habits? What do they like to buy and they're starting to realize that in this metaverse that we're going into, we will remain physical beings in a physical world that we will have a very active digital lifestyle and it is at the end of the day about digital ownership of digital assets, right? And how does a luxury fashion brand start to think about the high net worth individual of the future? The legs to consume digital assets that might be traceable on the blockchain. So I'll give you some examples. I worked with clinique with the Estee Lauder companies, clinique was the first brand to do a non fungible token in our focus was not on putting crypto art and selling it out there. The focus was on utility and community and bringing the people that are already loyal to the brand to share their stories, the way they transacted was in the form of stories they submitted stories of optimism and then a few people are going to be selected to get only three NFTs. The first NFTs that clinic is putting out, they're called meta optimists, and that's going to give them access to many different things, including ten years of makeup and early access to crowd favorites like black honey, which is sold out around the world. No one can get their hands on it. Hackles reference to non fungible tokens or NFTs reminds me of a quote by venture capitalist Chris Dixon, who famously said, the next big thing will start out looking like a toy, a notion that I think aptly describes the breakout phenomenon of NFTs, digital assets, commanding both media attention and jaw dropping prices. This here pixelated ape face, which you could quite easily screenshot right now. Go ahead, honestly, just do it. Is apparently worth 1.2 million U.S. dollars. Sure, many today might shake their heads at the enormous sums of money being spent on what appear to be no more than digital doodles and animated stuff. But according to hackle, beyond the current toy like products, the true value of NFTs as a means of assigning value, authenticity, and ownership of assets is only in its infancy. Yeah, NFTs are going to evolve, right? Right now we're in the beginning stages in some ways of the NFT craze and hype. You know, and there's a lot of NFT projects and there will probably be a market correction at some point, but what I will say is that for brands and this is really important when I work with the brands once again, it's about ownership. It's about digital ownership of digital assets, right? And being able to in some ways for your loyal customers for your fans, it's almost like they're envisioning being part of the brand. In a way they have never been able to be before. But also the secondary market with NFTs. So when you have an NFT, let's say I create an NFT and sell it in a marketplace and someone buys it because it is on the blockchain and because there is a smart contract, it will be written into that smart contract that if anyone sells it, I myself as a creator will still get a percentage every time it's sold on secondary market. That is powerful. That is very powerful for brands. Like Hermes, they sell a birkin bag, the birkin bag gets sold in the secondary market. They never see a penny of that secondary market. Well, that changes things. Now, every time that whether it's a physical Hermes or whether it's a digital item that they might sell, they will always get a cut in perpetuity of this physical item being sold in the secondary market. And it may be this very idea that is so compelling for brands across the fashion and luxury spectrums. Not only do NFTs offer the opportunity to assign value and ownership to a new universe of digital products and experiences, but the underpinning blockchains they are recorded on May also offer the ability to connect physical products to smart contracts. In essence, giving the brand the ability to command a royalty every time a product is resold in the secondary market, much the way a song, artwork, or any other creative property might be. And with the global resale apparel market projected to grow to twice the size of the fast fashion market by 2030, such royalties would be worth pursuing. So, what will the metaverse ultimately be, how will we truly interact with it and within it? And what will it mean for the future of our consumer behavior? According to hackle, the answers aren't crystal clear just yet. Although she believes it will ultimately permeate every aspect of our lives, including where and how we shop. The next decade, she says, will be pivotal. We don't know yet. What it's going to look like, we can envision it, and we can come to it maybe from an informed perspective. But yeah, I think it's going to change. It's going to change how you talk to your family. It's going to change how you shop. It's going to change how you try on clothes. At the end of the day, we're talking to an audience right now in the business of fashion, luxury. It's going to change how we perceive luxury. It's going to change the way luxury brands engage with creators and consumers. And it's going to give them an opportunity to reinvent themselves in a new way. So to me, it's a very exciting because we're building it right now. The next ten years. This is what I tell everyone. This next ten years this decade is such an important decade for building that this is the time where brand seems to start to think about what are we building? How do we start building? What does our brand become? These ten years are critical. Ultimately, given that on a global basis, upwards of 80% of all retail is transacted in the physical world, one of the most important questions regarding where consumers will shop seems to be in a future world that includes the metaverse will brick and mortar retail stores still be relevant. I don't think it makes them less valuable or less important. It changes them. Because once again, I always go back to where physical people in a physical world and the metaverse to me, my expansive view of it includes the physical world, right? So it's just going to make them different. If I have a wearable glasses that I'm wearing in front of my face and I can augment what people see and I can augment what people hear that gives retail a different opportunity. You know, sometimes we will want to go to the store, but it will be a lot more experiential. A point I couldn't agree with more. After all, we are human kinetically inclined creatures at heart. Even in China, we're approximately 50% of retail commerce is transacted online, stores play an important role in marrying physical and social experiences to the distribution of products. For evidence, one need look no further than Alibaba dot com's vast pre-pandemic investments in brick and mortar department stores, grocery chains, and shopping malls. So, physical experiences in retailer not likely to be supplanted completely by any technology, including the metaverse. And yet if we're honest, this promise of experiential retail is something many brands have aspired to, but few have delivered on, exacerbating the fallout in the industry. But as cities lose swaths of legacy physical retail, its opening fertile ground for a new generation of retailer bringing a completely different take on.

"Thank you ultimates as always for your support. So last week we were like knee deep in celebrity beauty launches, so we did it. Talk about this, but admittedly one of the biggest beauty stories of the entire week slash month is that John Dempsey of Estee Lauder companies was forcibly asked to retire and how long had he been there Kirby? He had been at the company for 30 years, I believe? Yeah, 30 years. He was the executive vice president and he was asked to leave the company last week after he posted a meme involving Sesame Street, a racial slur, coronavirus in chingy and truly you can not make this shut up. I'm like, is this a mad lib? What timeline are we living in? So John Dempsey, for the most part, if you prior to this, talk to anybody about John Dempsey, he was seemingly very well adored by everyone. They called him the Big Mac daddy. He was like a really big part of Mac collaborating with people like Mary J. Blige and little Kim in the late 90s before any fashion brand had ever partnered with like a hip hop star, Mac was like the first one to really do that. And he's been like a very big proponent of everything that's been happening with viva glam and making that like a big priority for a Mac. So like he's been like influential in so many ways at this company, right? But he also has this very bizarre Internet presence. Like this story broke through the beauty sphere because my boyfriend knew what I was talking about. When I mentioned the Estee Lauder executive. He's like, oh, he's like the racist meme thing. I'm like, oh my God, how do you know this? And he was like, it was all over Twitter. So sports Bros now know that there was a racist meme thing happening at essay lauder. Initially, he was suspended without pay, and I think that was a smart move. They were trying to figure out what to do. How to move forward. The New York Times story that he was asked to leave. And I think by doing that, because everyone's like, why didn't he get terminated and fired? Well, this man was making $10 million a year. He had stock in the company when you get terminated, I don't know what his contract looked like, but they may have had to effectively pay him out if they terminated him, right? So I think by asking him to leave and he announced his retirement, they're not obligated to pay him out and maybe he'll get something. I don't know, but surely it won't be at the magnitude that it would have been. If he had been forced out, via termination. But his Internet presence, I think the racist meme, y'all, it's all over Reddit, so just Google it. I'm not going to explain to you what it said. But there was like asterisks in this. In this meme, which indicated a slur of some sort. And okay, let me back it up for just two seconds. Did you read my newsletter by chance? I didn't get it. I was looking for it. No, it's okay. I'm not asking you to put you on the spot. I don't want to rehash everything I said if you had already read it, but I'm going to explain to you no, rehash it..

"They realized the price issue with millennials because we are a much porridge generation and so is Gen Z and I think brands and retailers have finally realized this. We do not have the spending power of the boomers and it's not changing anytime soon. So the brands have finally woken up to that, but they're still making things that are super fun and cute. So thank you Sephora and Gen Z for getting in on this trend. Hallelujah. Yeah, and bravo to Gen Z for like, I don't know, calling things out, valuing price points, like we all saw the backlash that I mean, this is a totally different level, but that Chanel got with the advent calendar and this $800 or something for nothing. You're going to get called out. So yes, be reasonable. Be smart. Totally. The glossy beauty podcast has turned into an economics podcast. Gen Z does not worship at the altar of luxury. If you are going to be charging a super high price point, you have to be able to justify it to them for sure. Love it. Well, let's move on to acquisitions. I mean, so much movement in this space. Emma, what would you say were the standout deals of the year? So at the beginning of the year, I think it was noteworthy that Estee Lauder companies has up to their stake in desi. I don't think we can forget about that. Although they already did have a minority ownership. But this past few weeks has really shown the appetite that strategic buyers have for indie brands in the case of, they acquired a majority stake asso de Janeiro, P and G is starting to craft a prestige category with pharmacy and whey. L'oreal then also acquired youth to the people and based off of a women's wear daily. I read youth to the people is estimated to earn right now around 50 million in annual sales, which is really small in terms of an acquisition by a multi-billion dollar conglomerate like L'oreal. So to me, that indicates that they're much more comfortable in prior years with getting that really small brand and helping build them up to being a 100 million in annual sales to it a $1 billion annual sales brand that they're used to. Are the beauty acquisitions happening maybe in one sector more so than another? What are you seeing in maybe like skin care? What's happening Liz? Yeah, it's so interesting with all those acquisitions that Emma mentioned, youth to the people, pharmacy, dacia, Paula's choice. There's so much investment in skin care startups these days. And if you can trust that with what's been happening in makeup, you saw that conglomerates were actually offloading their makeup brands as the latter closed down Becca cosmetics just sado, offloaded bare minerals, buxom and Laura mercier..

You guys are sassy and you guys, you know, it's a democracy. Sometimes I like it. It's a democracy sometimes on fat mascara. Okay, let's start, let's just get straight to the news, okay? Forget about the music. Let's just move on. So there is a new king of fragrance and his name is Francis kirkham. Parfum Christian Dior announced Francesco as the perfume creative director of Christian Dior. He is going to lead the creation of the masons, fragrances. Now you know Francis Kirk John. He is the artistic director and the perfumer creator of his own line, Maison Francis Kirk John, which he cofounded in 2009 with Mark chaya. Now, this house has been part of LVMH group since 2017. Now, LVMH group is also they own powerful and Christian GR and GR beauty. So they are close cousins. He still going to be working on his own line, which is very interesting. I have a great relief to fans of the brand. And here at mascara, we are tremendous Friends of the brand. This is not a huge surprise because I think his, I think, to fans of the brand, I feel like he has done such an incredible creative work. He is a true artist. And he really has been kind of he certainly not a kid anymore, but he was a real wonder kind of the fragrance world. He was the nose behind Jean-Paul gautier le mail, what he was really young that came out in 1995, and that was such an incredible fragrance. And really sort of rock the fragrance world. He's done so many other big name fragrances. Please look him up and you will be like, he did that. He did that. Oh my God, he did that before he started his own line. And he also has created several fragrances for the house of Dior. He is succeeding Francois de mache. He's been the Dior perfumer creator since 2006, so he's had an amazing run and he is I think he I don't have confirmation on what he's doing, but I think he's just retiring from the brand. So this is just tremendous. And I think it's going to be a very exciting time for Dior. Now, in more fragrance news, Estee Lauder companies is going to be saying goodbye to its aramis and designer fragrances division. So in this line, so that may seem very kind of corporate speak. You know a lot of these brands that are in this underneath this department. This includes our miss, Tommy Hilfiger. We've talked about how amazing Tommy tell me girl is such a they do not sleep on Tommy girl. Michael kors, Donna Karen of the incredible Donna Karan antiperspirant, which I'm wearing right now. Dkny and xenia. So our miss is a little bit, we can kind of make an exception for this one. Our miss is a prestige man's line that launched in 1963. This is going to be moved to another division of Estee Lauder companies. The other licenses are going to be winding down between now and 2023. Now we know that Michael kors plans to enter a new agreement with Euro Italia. And under your Italia is Versace. Now we know inter parfum has signed the license for Donna Karan and dkny. So lauder issued a statement and they said that fragrance is a winning category for our company and continues to be a long-term area of focus. This transfer of these four licenses will enable us to fully dedicate our attention and resources to our powerful and winning luxury and prestige fragrance portfolio. So lauder is not backing down on a fragrance. They have so many fragrances within their company. They have Tom Ford beauty, la labo, Frederick mall, Joe. Pleasure, Erin, kilian Paris. It may even have underestimated the Estee a lot of brand and clinic they have fragrances within them. So I think they're just refocusing there. So, now let's talk about what's going on in California. Pick up a copy of this Sacramento B and you can read a little bit more about this. Governor Gavin Newsom signed a bill on Thursday that significantly cuts the number of hours of training required to be a barber or a cosmetologist. So now, if you want to be a barber or cosmetologist, you only have to get 1000 hours of training compared to the 1600 that you used to or currently have to get. Oh, and then if you want to be a hairstyle, let's excuse me, you will only have to get sick a hundred hours of training. The other thing is you no longer have to get you no longer have to take the hands on exam. So this has been divisive among some people because some people say that this is going to be great because it's going to be a more accessible and affordable for low income and minority workers..

The holy land is ready with their delegation. The event is going to run until march twenty twenty two and israeli spokespersons says this is the first time israel is participating in such a wide scale event in an arab country. Israel has its own pavilion where it has a mock sand dunes and a big sign saying toward tomorrow using both arabic and hebrew. I'm gonna highlight more items coming out of the israeli pavilion as they are showcased. So far i haven't learned about anything really interesting coming from there but we do have something different. I'm going to tell that to you in a few minutes each year. The expo is hosted by a different country. So this year it is in the united arab emirates for which israel just made peace officially last year. Now we're gonna turn to professor.

Greece jordan and the palestinian authority and probably morocco. Morocco is coming next to install nesting boxes for als which enable natural extermination in agriculture without the use of poisonous chemicals. That are dangerous for people and terrible for the environment. Let's hear from him. He is fascinating. Good morning booker. To- professor leshem. How are you moaning.

Who is my partner in the project and they sent by the stadium bout net. Who is running it but seen authority a professor from switzerland professor alex soda and he's the world expert obama house and for the first time ever in our team we we'd have professional much guy who is an an ecologist and the at baylor and then he starting our project now also morocco and hopefully the main ideas if it works sweating meralco. He will spread the message to egeria tunisia egypt that they relations we see clearly very active so the idea is to give their in days. Swiss poverty on a two hour presentation of or what we are doing westbound out. You know the big problem is that they're foulness are using pesticides against a rodents and of course the pesticides. I affected festival the people if they put us. This is in part we as food for cows. Cow's eat the that it comes to the meal and of course it affect also the white drive. It affects the soil and water and northwestern bolton it affect their migrating best because we are in the middle east in the junction of three continents in about half a billion best. Migrated you so proud of them. Were poison so what we did. We established and it will of nesting box house and we stopped at nikki boost since daily. Oh in hr berry with fourteen boxes. Now we have five thousand boxes and abou- now's data like those dogs. They have up to twelve weeks every year. So they they eat between two thousand and six thousand every year so the farmers who had the bound out in the nesting boxes stop to pesticides and we spread the world over. We made lecture days and be printed material. We even put a webcam rows into the nesting books so they could see that every hour half an hour that may they're bound outcomes for the chicks and this is of course a very effective way and reduce the use of pesticides by sixty. This is also a very to get people together. You know farmers from joe bit bhai seniors. And as i said already greece. Cyprus already joined us too so we are very excited to be them. And i hope that after the hour activity and also the emirates rejoin our project because there really is also affected so we are going with the gray told us we are going to beat some key people from the government in dubai and other people and they're hopefully spread the roads. And i also will. Minister of protecting environment. Amazon is at the same time so she's going to our tv in these ready.

Okay so there's second romance enemies to lovers friends to lovers fake relationship which is one that i love fake relationship. Areas is not very young. Say i have a family. Event really needs somebody with me having conversations but it is somebody. I'm asking the person that i kinda like. So that when we're there we have to share a room You know a little more complicated and then by the end of the time where together. Okay date to a wedding. We're gonna pretend we're together for this wedding. 'cause i don't wanna have explaining my grandma. I'm still single. Like novelty looping. Any others. I like the one night stand. Hey i had a baby. Or i'm pregnant type of thing like coming back around. He does always surprising. Like with the have the person that likes. Say you're react type of thing. I noticed is good. Ed yeah like oh. There's a baby yet. That's a fun one. I knew a secret that i didn't tell you. And then when he comes out. It's like you told me the entire time. I like you work for me. That's really good like you're on my payroll like we can't do this in the office. Obviously in they're caught after hours in a conference room by like one famous person. One regular person regular. You know what i mean. Not regular payments. Yeah right. i'm. I'm a fan like right now. I've been deep into sports one so like where. It's a high sports romance like. I'm like the hockey team to. It's all like men players roping or that kind of thing. So i'm into like the hockey team. That's likes player to player to player. And you kind of hear about an organization. Type of thing i know fair with sean has like one like that. I've done serena win. That's one person. I found her during handed. I love her. So i'm like. I love sports romance of like okay because the hymie during normal romance you can be together at anytime. So it's sports on manson's this person is going to games a lot and you're doing things two months i've in my spacing is different. What they expect from the other person like not always hindu person the person so their texts or emails or like right from my thing. So i'm into which is a lot of the ones celebrity and one isn't trope as well. It's like okay. I'm on tour. You're coming with me. Like everything is heightening. Yes oh my gosh. I have to try the sports one. Deysi burt another good one too so okay. So do you see this area. You talked earlier. About how stealth publishing really just opened up the doors. But do you see this genre. As one where more black women are getting contracts like from some of the major publishing houses. Yeah but we're not paid the same I don't wanna complain. It's absolutely true right now. There's a renaissance uh-huh whoa we're definitely getting deals Not getting the same deals but at least we're in the door and our books on shelves and that representation is just so important You know we talked earlier to in a previous conversation. I had with dr rocket gates who does a lot around black women in reality. Tv she talked about how sometimes it's difficult for reality shows that have a black cast to do well with white audiences but your book was chosen as a racist pig book club right and so i'm wondering if that same kind of thing happens with romance novels like have you seen any of that. Like difficulties with readers. Kind of taking to your ears. I think we have enough time to this question. I have to be honest with you like this is a whole podcast theme itself. It's funny because i actually haven't. Because i mentioned before that i write mostly inspired from my life when i write my books and so i spent fifteen years as beauty editor at fashion magazine so mike characters were in fashion or beauty and for a time i was the only black beauty editor at the mainstream magazine. Not counting the essence women and ebony. I mean like at l. And bo yeon though i also worked at two and working with just an entire floor of black women was like i didn't go to. Nbc you so. I feel like that's my adc. You experience that was going to spell that for me. No prior to that like it was it was just me and so i'm writing from this place with people. That are like the only black in the professions that they're in and so that's like a comfy point of entry for a white reader. This was not done intentionally. On my part this is just the life. I have you know and even now as executive editorial director at estee lauder companies like. I'm definitely the only black editorial director and so.

I really appreciate you hanging out and talking about romance novels with me this afternoon. I'm so excited. It's my favorite thing to talk about likewise so to you i would love for you to just kind of get us started by talking about what actually makes a romance novel a romance novel. Like how is their genre classified. Well there are some actual hard and fast rules that you have to follow. Were to be considered a romance. Like a romance isn't just fiction with a love story in it. The love story has to be prominent. So it can't be like a thriller where they're solving a murder or something and they accidentally way in the background fall. But that's not point at all so the love has to be or front and there has to be a happy ending if there is an. Yeah if there is no happy ending. It's not a romance in. Who says these rules. Where do these rules confirm. Maybe the romance writer association Their long-held hardened basked rules. Okay and the phantoms. Get into battles over at honey yes it. Yeah this doesn't classify you know so like we were speaking in technical terms. That's what that is. But like i grew up on romancing the stone and things like They're like on adventures in cartagena colombia. Like solving insane mysteries following romance to me that might not technically classify. No yeah interesting. So very i saw you shaking your head when she said the phantoms. Kinda get into a would have been some of your favorites. And how did you get into this genre. I would say like. I've always been a reader. I don't know how to explain that. The people but i've always been a deep reader and one of the children were meet other women. They're like yeah. I was picking books that people's houses and disarray minimum. That was me picking people's houses. And i came up on a romance book at someone's house i have no idea and it kind of like okay. I like this kind of story. So i found out those are the of books in a grocery store white. Those harlequin type of book is somehow. I happened upon buying one of those. And i sent that little slip in that like as books and they send books for like three months before they sent a bill that my mom was like okay so i would say like i got into and it was just like oh i need more anymore romance. This is the cutest thing ever. This is the kind of thing i need it. And it would be like all types of stories. It wasn't just one type of person that i just felt like. It was an escape so when she said i totally agreed in like getting deeper in my mom's best friend's daughter red black romance and so she's the one that got me on beverly jenkins imprinted jackson that type of thing and that was when i got into the phantom's type of thing like joining a beverly lincoln's yahoo grew it kind of like a whole different worlds of like the rules and what people expect and like when things are released. They're like the respect people. Expect a give and very deep and people feel away if you don't understand it and you're in the face though. Oh yeah right now. There's rumblings within the fandom because the romance writer awards just came out and the person who won for. I think best christian romance for best inspirational romance. It's like a colonial era american story. Unlike in the first chapter the white male protagonist like kills native tribes. It's totally offensive and so wrong and it's like. Why is this rewarded. I don't know if you follow this. I'm deep into the romance part to like the things that i love. I'm a stand in the behind the scenes. So i've been through our w. a. and actually stopped paying attention because of all the drama that happened beforehand and who ran it. Yeah and things like that. So i try not to give it a lot of attention and it's because of that. It's like we do this. We call you into accounting. You say these things have changed blah blah blah. And then the first time we come around through something else you do something else and so do. We have to say outrageous. I don't like that so it's just easy to follow the authors. I like and deal with the things. I do with in not like those organizations necessarily if i don't have to and you know what i'm gonna do that too. I'm always because it gives me. Oh my god yeah so it sounds like much like other areas like this is an area in my own experience like it wasn't until probably college where i even saw like black women in romance novels and so i love for both of you to share some of the differences. You see like when black women are the lead characters and what kinds of things really make a romance novel exciting to you. That's tough because if you're black woman writing a black woman character it's all you know. And they're all different types of black women and the same way. There are all different types of white women so a black character to me isn't defined by being a black character. I'm not really sure how to answer that. Like you have very silly black female heroines romance novels. You have cerebral ones. You have sort of like the virgin deflowered. You have the slutty one. There's so many different kind. What is definitely true is that it's taken far too long to get here to this place where we have so much representation and there's enough space for there to be more than just one lack female protagonist trope. I think it was with the advent of self publishing. That really did it like suddenly there were all these different voices. And you know you're seeing black and all these different. John ras that they hadn't been before and characters portrayed in different ways that they hadn't before and it really opened up the genre to new experiences. Problem with book publishing is that the gatekeepers are super duper white more so than in music more so than in movies and film like you see all sorts of hospital. Progressive change is being made like especially in tv like atlanta insecure. Green sugar like all these many failings fabulous show.

"I'm like we don't have a fucking strategy trying everything we could think of. Yeah yeah but then you can take credit for it. All having been intentional but three years you took chances and you had great instincts. So that's part of it correct. So how do you convince you know i. I feel like corporations can be known to be slow to move. Yeah compared to embrace change but you have pushed the companies. You worked with to do outside the box like no one would have associated lows with a fashion week writing at war. What you've done with taco bell and and those you've got your walking into an entirely different restaurant and you know oh my gosh we're in taco bell. How did you push that along knowing that. Sometimes these these companies can be stalwarts. Will i think the first really big lesson. Although i had the much earlier in my career as well was when i joined the estee lauder company is back in two thousand seven. And i was brought on in a role that was a very entrepreneurial role in this very large multibrand classic organization. The estee water companies has many many luxury beauty brands. That certainly not just the estee lauder brand and so i was in one of the first maybe the first corporate executive role at the time and also the first digital marketing job which was kind of an interesting risk remediate because i had threatened digital already throughout a lot of my career but now i was going to become the owner and leader of it and it was intimidating. One of the big lessons was the job. You're being hired for the job you go to do or not. Always the same thing. So i got there to.

"A lot of times. I love that. Thank you i find you know. I am very fortunate to have outdoor space at our home in los angeles but like we also live near the airport and near the highway so like there is always very loud city. Noises going on And here it's just dead silent. I mean it is almost like when i got out of the car. It was like It was so quiet it was loud if like it just was overwhelming. Yeah i do feel like the pace of life does encourage kind of subtle change in the body and the breath and just the brain. And so i'm trying to really feel that a little bit and not and just like calm down because i tend to be a really high strung tightly wound person and don't mind that about myself but i'm also like well. Why don't i just feel these this other side. We'll say this this. Let's hope beautiful. Thanks and it's also like exactly why you come to a place like this right so i'm just. I'm so glad that you are consciously giving yourself over to it. It is why you come but also like you know. Then there's a part of me. That's why did i not make the choice to live in a place like this. Would i be bored in immediately like what. What's wrong with me that i don't live in on a farm. Now what's wrong with me but just you know like considering this as a larger life choice in not just visiting family I don't think it is a life choice that i ultimately would want to make. I love living in cities but It does kind of make you like question more. You know your own quality of life or your own choices or like especially like my own materialism and what is truly necessary. And what's not a look. A bunch of wild turkeys have really led me on a philosophical journey of like what matters in life cheese. What matters in life story. What matters i don't know yet i mean i do. I do think that if you it seems to me. I'll i'll i'll speak for myself. It seems to me that if i lived permanently in a place like this it would come to feel much more routine and not as magical as you are kind of portraying it and i think that there is something about the contrast between like hectic city lives and getting this respite. That is really powerful. Yes and i should say that. I assume people who live in a peaceful countryside also experienced stressful lives. Like i don't want to insinuate that. Lives in a rural community is is just chilin and looking at birds all day but it is for me. It is such a contrast from what i'm used to that. It's been very nice to kind of slow down. And i'm just kind of processing that trying to slow down a little bit who i did meditate for five minutes with my daughter today and i was like a look me. A meditating mom showing my kid like how to be in league with like thirty minutes left. She just went and left like made a far now. Well you know. Oh my god. I tried i tried. That's funny well.
