Sephora Is Launching In-Store Beauty Classes for Trans People:
equalityspeaks:
In 2016 Sephora launched complimentary in-store classes for those experiencing major life transitions, Classes for Confidence.
Up to this point, those classes have focused on workforce re-entry and beauty in the face of cancer, with participation from community organizations around the country.
In June 2018, Sephora will launch a series of in-store programming around the country for the trans and nonbinary community, hosted and developed by transgender Sephora cast members.
On Tuesday, May 22, the first preview class will be held in New York City.“This is the third curriculum we’ve rolled out, and we couldn’t be more excited. It’s been two years in the making. It’s one of the initial programs we wanted to design, but we wanted to make sure we did it right,” says Corrie Conrad, Head of Social Impact and Sustainability at Sephora.
These classes and Sephora’s entrepreneurial bootcamp fall under her purview. “We held focus groups and worked with our employees experiencing their own gender journeys to help determine class content, sensitivity training procedures, and to help figure out which stores would make the most sense. The trans and nonbinary community is a beloved part of our community and we want to be allies. That’s the point of all our programming: Whether you’re entering the workforce or questioning your gender, that’s a major life transition. We want to be there for you.”
