Vogue - Sep 15, 2024 The Meaning Behind D’Pharaoh Woon-A-Tai’s Red Carpet Statement at the 2024 Emmy Awards "The actor’s red handprint was achieving using products from Cheekbone Beauty, an Indigenous-owned beauty brand. Within the Indigenous community, wearing red—and having handprints painted onto one’s face, as Woon-A-Tai opted to do tonight—has turned into a symbol and a reminder of the Indigenous women, girls, and Two-Spirit individuals whose lives have been lost to violence. Many contemporary Indigenous designers—and artists such as Jaime Black, who launched the REDress Project in 2010—have also used red in their work to draw awareness to the ongoing issue. (Many cases of murdered or missing Indigenous women remain unsolved, as highlighted in a recent Showtime documentary titled Murder In Big Horn.)"

Coming full circle (as foreshadowed in Harper’s dream!), the brand now sells Harmony Lipgloss, which was made to honour Indigenous traditions.

As her financial partner, BMO will be at Jenn’s side at every step along the way. Since founding Cheekbone Beauty eight years ago, Jenn has built the business rapidly. Her company’s beauty products are featured in more than 50 Sephora stores across Canada. JCPenney, one of the largest fashion retailers in the U.S., has also begun selling Cheekbone products. Jenn’s goal is ambitious: to increase revenues ten-fold. But more important to Jenn is keeping her company true to her Anishinaabe values.
