Dr. Tamarra James-Todd, head of the Environmental Reproductive Justice Lab at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, will be joined by leaders from healthcare, academia, non-profits, and the clean beauty business industry to unpack how historical and current narratives about beauty have perpetuated economic, social and environmental injustices. We’ll also dive into the ways that people are already at work creating a more clean and equitable future of beauty for everyone.
