PRIYANKA CHOPRA JONAS TALKS DIVERSITY, INCLUSION AND UNCONSCIOUS BIAS

SKINCLUSION™ Ambassador Priyanka Chopra warns of "blind spots" that prevent us from seeing the beautiful humanity we all share

 

SKINCLUSION™, a new campaign from Obagi, is looking to create a global dialogue about the need for people around the world to recognize and address their own unconscious bias, specifically surrounding skin tone. While unintentional, unconscious bias reflects deeply engrained stereotypes and can create "blind spots" that prevent us from seeing the beautiful humanity we all share.  Unconscious bias refers to the attitudes or stereotypes that affect our understanding, actions and decisions in an unconscious manner.

Priyanka has been dedicated to fighting for inclusion and diversity over the course of her 20-year career and believes in supporting brands that align with her values.
