The OH, UH-UH Department

Welcome to The OH, UH-UH Department, where beauty and fashion brands who have blatantly committed any form of cultural appropriation or racism, go to get dragged back on track.

This department acts as that good Black friend, the one who acts as the canary in the coal mine to call out problematic behavior.

Call-out culture is welcome here, but only in the context of assisting brands out of the darkness of bigotry or cultural theft into the light of reason and "doing better."
