00:00Hello, everyone. My name is Caroline Wanga, and I am serving in the capacity of CEO for Essence,
00:12the only 100% Black-owned technology, media, and commerce business at scale. And excited to be
00:21here with you today with one of our partners, Avino, that is focusing on continuing to help
00:27the skin health of girls that look like you and me be better. And so part of what we'll get to do is
00:33be in a pitch competition. And as a judge, what I'm looking forward to as we engage with these
00:38skin health brands is number one, authenticity. Are you embracing who we are as Black girls and
00:45the magic that we do and the skin that we're in when we do that? Number two, I'm looking for
00:50creativity and ingenuity on the way to think about making your skin health brands available
00:56to the community of 31 million women. And thirdly, I love anything that is jovial or fun that carries
01:03forward the joy and celebration that our community represents. I cannot wait to be able to see some of
01:09what these brands are going to bring forward and hopefully help one of them win up to $100,000
01:15with our partner Avino. Looking forward to seeing you guys there.
