When dreams become reality. ✨ We had the pleasure this week of hosting Dr. Marcus Collins and his daughter Georgia for an ‘e.l.f.ternship’ in our NYC office to highlight how our culture benefits from being positive, inclusive and accessible. We hope Georgia learned as much from us as we did from her. Georgia was quick to jump into the action and gave our e.l.f.z amazing insights into what her generation would like to see from e.l.f. You never know, we might even bring some of her collaboration ideas to life one day! 👀 Look out world, the next generation is ready to shine at full wattage. 💡 Both Marcus and Georgia are true bold disruptors with incredibly kind hearts. ❤️

Yesterday was the COOLEST. But it started five months ago. I gave a talk at E.L.F. BEAUTY for its all-company offsite in Cabo earlier this year. While there, I mentioned to Laurie Lam, Kory Marchisotto, and Tarang Amin that my daughter is a huuuuuuuuuuge fan of e.l.f.. After going into a monologue about Geogria’s career ambitions, Laurie immediately says, “Oh, wow! she should do an internship with us.” Bear in mind, Geogria is only 9 years old, but that did not dissuade Laurie in the slightest. Fast forward to Tuesday this week, and we’re in NYC for Geogria’s one-day e.l.f.-ternship where she learned about merchandising, brand, business ethics, PR, and so many awesome things 🤯🤯🤯 It was the coolest thing ever—and such a demonstration of the brand’s commitment to access. Truly, a masterclass in brand conviction. Georgia has been on cloud nine since we left the office. I don’t think she will ever be the same because she now knows what’s possible when people (who are not her family—spiritual or natural) see her, recognize her, and pour into her. I’m so inspired by the humanity of these amazing people and this wonderful company. To everyone at e.l.f., thank you from the bottom of my heart. ❤️
