On the day makeup artist Terri Bryant learned she had Parkinson's, she returned home and raided her makeup kit and her husband's toolbox. She quickly pinpointed what was lacking in the tools she’d been using for years: grip and stability. This sparked the creation of Guide Beauty, a brand dedicated to reimagining makeup artistry and proving it can be accessible to all, regardless of skill, ability, or disability.

In today’s episode, we discuss: 

• Adaptation and accommodation vs. authentic inclusion 
• What Terri learned from launching a beauty brand in the middle of the pandemic
• Why she decided to team up with the actress Selma Blair, Guide’s Chief Creative Officer
• How Guide Beauty is changing the narrative around accessible beauty tools
