Summary
In this week’s episode, Tay is back for another girl-talk episode with content creator and beauty advocate Golloria! Born in South Sudan and raised in the U.S., Golloria opens up about her early experience as a refugee, the bullying she faced growing up, and how she found confidence and community online. She shares where her love of beauty began, the moment she made her first viral “darkest shade” video, and the brands she believes are truly doing the work when it comes to inclusivity - starting with Rhode and Hailey Bieber. Golloria gets honest about maintaining integrity as a creator, the boundaries she sets with social media to protect her peace, and whether launching her own beauty brand could be in her future. Plus, she answers the Lemon 7, including the moment she’d go back to, her favorite form of self-care, and the most misunderstood thing about her!

| 0:00.0 | The following podcast is a dear media production. |
| 0:02.9 | I can deal with the racism and colorism, but at the end of the day, I know the impact and the change that I'm making in this industry is a stamp. |
| 0:09.4 | I'm going to sit here and I'm going to do it proudly. |
| 0:11.0 | It doesn't matter if you don't think that I belong at this table. |
| 0:13.0 | I know I do. |
| 0:13.8 | Gloria George is changing the beauty game on social media. |
| 0:17.0 | Her powerful voice is reshaping industry standards, calling for tone inclusivity and gaining |
| 0:22.3 | millions of views. What is the most misunderstood thing about you? Probably that people think that I |
| 0:27.5 | enjoy making the darkest shade videos. Every time I swatch a product that doesn't work for me, like, |
| 0:32.1 | oh my God, they think it's like the happiest thing ever, but it's actually kind of traumatizing. |
| 0:36.3 | It's a constant reminder that you're |
| 0:37.6 | like not included. Your skin color and how you look is not perceived by the world. They don't even |
| 0:43.6 | acknowledge you enough to make a shade for you. They don't see you. The racism and the colorism and the |
| 0:48.2 | backlash. It's been something that I've dealt with my entire life. Dealing with it now at the masses |
| 0:52.5 | has been definitely really difficult. |
| 0:54.8 | Like, I know the standards that I'm held to are insane standards. But in order to do this, |
| 0:58.8 | I have to live unapologetically for myself. |
| 1:01.5 | Thousands of bad comments, you know, of racist, like colorist, horrible comments. |
| 1:05.3 | Despite it all, I'm going to still make the video. |
| 1:07.6 | You guys can drag me for two weeks, but I'm going to still come back with another darkest shade video because it's bigger than me. |
