Glowreel - It’s All About The Rhinestone Butterfly

Glowreel Purple Text Logo

Who is she? Sending you this newsletter on a Thursday?! A bit different, I know.

This week we’re covering the main bits you need to know about the Olympics (fashion), BIPOC women making waves in business and leadership and Black History Month.

Also, I would LOVE to hear your thoughts about Glowreel. The good, the bad and the ugly. If you haven’t already, please fill out this easy 2 minute survey so I can make sure Glowreel is hitting the mark for you. It’s mainly multi choice and includes emojis (fun!) and you’ll go into the draw to win your very own copy of Wahala by Nikki May.

Let's get glowing

P.S. In this week’s feel-good moment, Haven Everly’s mum is blowing up the internet with her INCREDIBLE voice! She really could give Adele a run for her money.

Olympics But Make It ✨ Fashion ✨

Olympics but make it ✨ fashion ✨: Interesting mix, but we are here for it! The Winter Olympics are in full swing. We love to tune in to all the Olympics news, but today is all about the Olympic fashion. Check out Zhou Jiaying who’s paying tribute to her heritage through her dragon themed hockey gear. Meanwhile, Karen Chen’s mum lovingly made her purple free skate dress - how sweet! Bonus points if you spot the rhinestone butterfly!

See also: Not the Winter Olympics or fashion, but Summer Olympics superstar Suni Lee scored her first perfect 10 for Auburn University. The celebration when she lands is everything.

Business and leadership: Move over white, male CEOs! Nazia Shahrin is leveraging visibility and mentoring to increase the advancement of young women of colour in finance and tech. Merline Saintil and Robin Washington are also improving representation on corporate boards through Black Women on Boards.

See also: This study found that people are more likely to appoint women and people of colour to be leaders in difficult times - aka, the glass cliff. There’s more research to be done. But initial findings point to a desire for change, and for stereotypically “female” traits, in times of crisis.
