Part 2! @earthlyemily After the trip, I tried to reach out to the founder privately to get closure and better understand what happened. Unfortunately, I was blocked and couldn’t email, so that conversation never happened. Since Part 1, I’ve also received multiple DMs from people sharing their own experiences, which validated many of the feelings and concerns we had. As someone who has experienced being treated differently and bullied, it’s hard not to question whether you’re making assumptions. That’s why I wanted to address this privately first. At the end of the day, this is our experience and our perspective. We’re sharing it not for attention, but in hopes it helps future brands, creators, and consumers recognize the importance of listening, communicating, and making everyone feel respected. 🤍 #brandtrip #skincarecommunity #beautycommunity
