WWD Beauty Inc has announced its first virtual summit, which is scheduled for Nov. 18 and 19.

The two-day virtual event, called WWD Beauty Inc Summit: 2021 in Focus, will feature speakers from businesses of all sizes, ranging from independent brand founders to corporate chief executive officers to discuss the industry’s business landscape for the next 12 months.

“From the social forces and cultural changes that are impacting consumers to the path forward for retail, we’ll be analyzing all aspects of the industry,” said Jenny B. Fine, executive editor, beauty at WWD and Beauty Inc. “We’ve lined up speakers from inside and outside of beauty to share insights about winning strategies in these unprecedented times.”

Myha’la Herrold gave WWD an inside look at “Industry,” the new HBO drama set in the high-pressure world of London finance. Herrold says that Harper’s resistance by existence, as a Black woman in the predominantly white male world of finance, is ultimately what connected her to the show. “What I liked about this finance drama script was that it wasn’t being told by the perspectives of the people at the top, who mostly are white men. It wasn’t their story,” Herrold says. “But we are learning about that world from the lowest-ranking people and us as laypeople probably only know about wealthy white men as being in finance. But obviously there are other people who work in it. Harper could not care at all about any of those determining factors to be successful. Because if she had, she would be putting herself at a serious disadvantage. So she’s like, I don’t care that I’m a woman, I don’t care that I’m Black, I don’t care that you’re a man and you’re white. What I care about is the fact that I’m better at this job than you are. Tap the link in bio to read the full interview. Report: @leighen Photographer: @lexieblacklock
