It’s a crisp October day.

The world’s biggest luxury conglomerate is looking to hire YOU. Well, maybe. The French corporation announced last week that they plan on hiring 25,000 people under the age of 30 by the end of 2022.

Beauty is a way for so many to express themselves and allows them to be their true self. As an industry and an artform, beauty can be skincare, makeup, hair care and wellness. I love how beauty allows people a way to find themselves, which made me interested in the impact beauty has on different communities. I had the pleasure of interviewing 4 current SCAD students who identify as a part of the LGBTQIA+ community.
