In this week’s episode of Calling in Sick x Ask Alex, accessibility consultant Ashton and I are diving deep into the world of inclusive beauty and why the industry needs a major shake-up.

We cover:

💄The reality of "performative" marketing

🛠️ Accessible at-home beauty hacks

🤝 Finding community online

🧴 Rapid-fire assessments on the most viral beauty trends

True inclusion means having disabled voices in the room where decisions are made, not just as an afterthought. Whether you're a creator looking to make your content more accessible or someone looking for beauty products that actually work for your needs, this episode is packed with insights on navigating an able-bodied world.

xx,
Alex
