We’re so excited to work in collaboration with @Revlon and produce a new series "Contours and Conversations" as we embrace beauty beyond the brush. This new monthly Instagram live series will "dig a little deeper and explore beauty beyond the beat in an effort to put down our makeup, get “unready” and prepare to take on conversations that matter the most.” Tune in today for the first episode hosted by Tai Beauchamp (@taibeau) with guest Cori Murray (@corimurray). #WhatWeDo

Today is International Day for the Remembrance of the Slave Trade and its Abolition. August 22-23, 1791 saw an uprising and revolting against slavery in Santo Domingo (what is modern-day Haiti and Dominican Republic) that would play a integral role in the abolition of the transatlantic slave trade. As we reflect on this pivotal point in history, we pause and honor the memory of the people who paved the way, and have inspired future generations to fight and abolish slavery and human exploitation.

You asked, Philadelphia delivered. When Amazon was searching for a new city to call home, Skai Blue Media partnered with city stakeholders and business leaders to tell the uniquely Philadelphia story. Skai Blue Media led the creative direction, website development, and roll-out strategy for accompanying visual and media assets (including the featured video series executive produced by the #SkaiBlueCrew). We're proud to have had the opportunity to tout the stories of the doers and makers who make Philadelphia the City of Brotherly Love and Sisterly Affection.

“Underserved" vs. "Under-resourced"...what's the difference?
While many use the term "underserved" in their daily language, it does not fully cover the challenges that some communities face. "Under-resourced" captures the broader capital, political standing, and community aspects that impact some marginalized groups; making it a much better term to add to your vernacular!
Even though the day is almost over, Black Women’s Equal Pay Day doesn’t have to be and it can’t! We need to keep recognizing how much progress still has to be made while celebrating Black women everyday. Remember, Black women must work an extra 214 days to catch up to what white, non-Hispanic males made in 2020. Across industries Black women are paid 63 cents for every dollar made by white men, according to the National Women’s Law Center @nationalwomenslawcenter. #BlackWomensEqualPayDay

It’s not everyday the First Lady of the United States makes a surprise appearance! Author and activist Marley Dias was invited to kick off an event hosted by the City of Philadelphia to read an excerpt. "When in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political hands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Law of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation."
