I write …
to disrupt stories that gloss over depth, to interrogate the cultural forces hiding in plain sight, and to illuminate how beauty can be more than visage, but a vessel.
This is Black & Prestige, a platform for those who believe cultural intelligence isn’t optional, and who endeavor to understand the power structures shaping the next era of prestige beauty.
Every essay, case study, and understudied consumer profile harnesses my 15+ years in brand strategy, more than a decade in the beauty industry, and that old-fashioned thing called insight.
Some people count me credible.
I count the fractures, the myths, the hidden mechanics of prestige.
I write because the next era won’t be built on surface; it will be built on the pulse of culture.
And if you or your brand doesn’t have one, well …
What to expect.
On a bi-weekly basis, I’ll share stories highlighting case studies from my strategy work with Black & Prestige brands, actionable insights on Black & Prestige consumer profiles, and data-driven observations on the “why” and “how” of Black & Prestige’s industry influence.
