WE NEED TO TALK

[@catethegreatbeauty]

Hey guys, I’d like to clear up the false information being spread about Sephora donating to Trump. I and Chase looked into this and there is zero record of Sephora or their parent company LVMH making donations to Trump. This misinformation is stemming from a TikTok siting Sephora as donating to the Trump campaign. In fact, LVMH has been sited as donating majorly to the democrats according to opensecrets.org. Please see my current Instagram story from Charlotte Palermino of Dieux. It’s the best explanation of this I’ve seen. And let’s all please look into things before we blindly believe everything we see. Unfortunately, that’s exactly how we got where we are now in this country.

I also really appreciate the creators list because I am personally having an absolutely awful time clicking on and paying attention to videos that are beauty only. I get that there’s a time and a place for that. There has to be. But I am not there yet. I am not at a place where I can handle hearing a review from someone who is acting like it’s business as usual. I came across someone IRL yesterday that when asked what they thought would happen to actual friends of theirs in marginalized communities, they with a straight face looked at me and said nothing. They’ll be fine. Somebody who doesn’t even pretend to care about the economy, but they literally just don’t believe the things that these people straight out, said that they were gonna do…. it’s really hard living in a world where it’s not just the callousness the selfishness and the hate but the divorce from reality itself.

I so appreciate you and I cannot find the right words to adequately express this to you. I'm frustrated with other creators as well. They refer to "it being a bad week" or something else without specifying what they are talking about but we all know. I guess that's their choice/their channel (Ironic words). In their comments are a lot of the Karens going after other commenters who are more direct with their pain. They are emboldened indeed and to see the other open commentors go unprotected is gross. I'm not sure what my own next steps are. Also, I agree that social media has a huge impact. A lot of the pundits finally are acknowledging that power - would have been nice for them to say that a few months ago.

Thanks Cate for stepping up. I have noticed how some content creators are talking about how many red friends they have when they were previously quite outspoken for dems.

Sending you much love Cate!! Whew wee this was like taking a bullet😢. But I agree with 1000%% it is time to get REAL SPICY 🙌🏾💪🏾🩷

Thank you for using your platform and influence for such important human rights issues. I’ve been so disappointed by how many content creators with large platforms say nothing. Silence in the face of oppression is siding with the oppressor.

Bravo to you! Finally a beauty content creator who is willing to discuss important issues regardless of the consequences. I will support you on this channel. Wish you would include all your links to information here on KZbin because I have limited my social media consumption and don't have Instagram.

[@catethegreatbeauty]

You do not need an Instagram account to go to my profile and screenshot the Prochoice list! I include what I can here on KZbin but the fact is that there’s no way for me to share a lot of what I post on Instagram here on KZbin. The platform does not allow for it.
