The cover of the @NYTimes. We did it, @thrivecausemetics Fam! 🥹💪 💪 As we were preparing to launch @biggerthanbeautyskincare last year, I was finally ready to tell my story in a way I hadn’t before. I shared with YOU that my dream was to be on the cover of the NYTimes. Many told me it was impossible. But not YOU. ☀️ YOU have always believed because YOU are a community of unconventional + “unreasonable” dreamers who never let someone put you in a box. 🫶 Because YOU know yourself so you’re able to see + accept me exactly as I am. 🫶 And even though we will celebrate this moment together, I know you don’t love me because I’m in the #NYTimes, you love because I’m myself. And I’ll always love you for being your authentic selves. ⚡️ For every moment like this, there have been and will continue to be many trials. I’m grateful for the unconditional support this community gives me. YOU are what I always needed and I’m so proud of US. 💪 We are built different and we were meant to do this beautiful thing called life together. I’m going to celebrate this moment today, knowing it doesn’t define me and then get back to building with our brilliant team at @thrivecausemetics @biggerthanbeautyskincare. 🦋 Special thank you to @sheilaym for your fair and honest reporting (yes, I finally read this one!), @innovativepr for your relentless drive, @blythejack for always kicking my ass while loving me, flaws and all and @caroljhamilton for being my role model. Carol, reading your words in the piece made my cry and took me back to being 22 years old in Paris when you told me “I paved the way so you could change the beauty industry.” ♾️ @bottomlesscloset you are my heroes. 📸: by the legendary @michellegroskopf @brentmnyt @tashiworld Makeup + Skincare using all #BiggerThanBeautySkincare #ThriveCausemetics: @courtneyhagenmakeup
