Descendants of enslaved people who once worked the land as sharecroppers, these women transformed necessity into artistry, crafting bold, improvisational quilts from repurposed fabrics like denim, flour sacks, and worn-out clothing. Their work remained largely unknown outside their community until the early 2000s, when museum exhibitions catapulted them into the national spotlight. Now celebrated as one of the most significant contributions to American textile art, Gee's Bend quilts have been displayed at the Whitney Museum, the Met, and the Smithsonian. Their distinctive designs—like the Housetop and Bricklayer patterns—have influenced modern art and design, blending tradition with innovation. Today, their legacy continues through exhibitions, workshops, and direct sales, ensuring their craft remains both an artistic and economic lifeline for the community.About FrancineFrancine Thompson is the Design Director of Brand at Hims & Hers, where she brings a strategic and thoughtful approach to branding, creating design systems that feel both human and impactful.

He believes that keeping himself in ketosis helped to stave off a remission in his cancer. He was told his cancer would return in 5 years; however, it didn't return for almost 17 years.

It's impossible to ignore the chatter about Ozempic, Wegovy, and other weight-loss medications that have hit the market in the last few years. This week, Hims & Hers -- a telehealth company known for discreetly treating erectile dysfunction, balding, and other sensitive conditions -- announced the launch of their own off brand weight-loss injection, sparking a boost in their stock prices. Melissa Lee, Host of CNBC's Fast Money, takes us into the marketplace for GLP-1 agonist drugs, Ozempic dupes sold online, and what the popularity of these drugs on Wall Street means for patients.   

Three news stories summarized & contextualized by analytic journalist Colin Wright.Hims & Hers is now selling Ozempic-like weight loss drugs for $199Summary: Hims & Hers Health, a telehealth company that specializes in providing everything from hair-loss to erectile dysfunction to skin-care products, online, announced on Monday that it is now offering a compounded version of semaglutide, which is the active ingredient in weight loss drugs like Ozempic and diabetes drugs like Mounjaro.Context: Semaglutide-based drugs, though rife with side effects, some of them substantial, have surprised the medical community by proving incredibly effective for helping folks who have traditionally had trouble losing weight, lose substantial amounts of it, and new studies have shown that it can reduce the risk of major cardiovascular events and the risk of severe liver disease, as well, alongside other benefits; compounded drugs, like the one Hims & Hers is offering, are basically mixed versions of a more standardized, FDA-approved drug, and they are not reviewed by the FDA, and are generally frowned-upon if a standardized, reviewed version—like Ozempic—is available, because of that lack of oversight; the branded versions of these drugs have been in very short supply since they began to boom in popularity and use, though, and this custom version costs a fraction of the price of Ozempic (about $199 per month compared to around $1,000), which is why Hims & Hers' stock boomed following the announcement of this new offering, and why we'll likely see more compounded versions of this drug from other companies in the coming months.—QuartzOne Sentence News is a reader-supported publication.

Context: This will almost certainly complicate the election, in part because the ruling was handed down so last-minute, but also because Zuma—who was sentenced to 15 months in prison in 2021 for refusing to testify during an inquiry into governmental corruption, and who was forced out of power in 2018 under a tidal wave of corruption allegations—has become a prominent force in local politics, having started a new party last year and having become a critic of his former party and the person who replaced him in office, current President Cyril Ramaphosa; the country's governing party, the ANC, is facing its most significant challenge since it took power decades ago, and some analysts are expecting it'll have to form a coalition government for the first time if it wants to hold onto its majority.—The Associated PressScarlett Johansson says OpenAI chatbot voice 'eerily similar' to hersSummary: Scarlett Johansson, an actress who, among many other prominent roles, provided her voice to an artificial intelligence in the movie Her, has accused OpenAI of creating a voice for its ChatGPT tool that sounds a lot like her, despite her not having approved her voice for that use.Context: The voice in question was pulled from OpenAI's offerings following the actresses' accusations, and while OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has said no effort was made to create a copy of Johansson's voice for their product, he's previously said that Her is his favorite movie, posted the word “her,” without context, on the social platform X two days before the new voice options were announced, and apparently asked Johansson to license her voice for ChatGPT purposes in September, and then again a few days before the release, which she declined; though OpenAI contends that they hired a different voice actress without considering how similar she sounds to Johansson, this is being seen as the most recent instance of what many creatives are worrying about right now, namely their work or likenesses being used by AI systems without their permission and without any kind of compensation, which arguably puts their livelihoods at risk.—ReutersMany US homeowners are feeling trapped by the “golden handcuffs” of low mortgage rates they locked-in before the Fed started hiking interest rates, which in turn dramatically increased mortgage rates; current mortgage rates are not historically high, but the gap between what many homeowners enjoy and what's available on the mortgage market is historically significant.—The New York Times$15.7 millionMedian pay of CEOs in 2023 in a WSJ analysis of executives for S&P 500 companies.That's up from a median of $14.5 million in 2022, and the highest-earning CEO in this survey is the CEO of Broadcom, who earns $162 million a year.—The Wall Street JournalTrust Click Get full access to One Sentence News at onesentencenews.substack.com/subscribe

Welcome to Decode Your Burnout! In this episode, we're joined by Dan Lieberman, a distinguished psychologist and author, to explore the role of dopamine in our motivation and sense of reward, and how it impacts our well-being.     Dopamine is often associated with pleasure and reward, but Lieberman debunks the common myths surrounding this neurotransmitter and explains how it can contribute to burnout. By understanding the role of dopamine in our brain's reward system, we can develop effective strategies to prevent burnout and improve our self-care routine.     Our discussion covers a range of topics, including: - The difference between pain and suffering - The desire circuit versus the control circuit, and  - The importance of mental time travel and dream incubation.    Lieberman also provides insights on how to manage dopamine levels and come out of dopamine-induced burnout. Additionally, we explore the value of criticism and how we can reframe negative feedback to our advantage. By cultivating a growth mindset and learning from our mistakes, we can enhance our sense of reward and motivation. Tune in to this episode of Decode Your Burnout to learn practical strategies for preventing burnout and enhancing your well-being.

We believe it's so important to continue to have conversations around sex so that people can get rid of stigmas and have more empowering conversations around the topic.  These stats and statistics are based on a survey of 7234 respondents in Hims & Hers nationally representative survey. Survey conducted in April 2022. Prescription products require an online consultation with a healthcare provider who will determine if a prescription is appropriate. Restrictions apply.

NVC invests in technology companies through both direct investments and curated portfolio acquisitions, pairing funding with significant operational support. Focusing primarily on growth-stage companies, the NVC portfolio includes Plaid, Duolingo, Forter, Hims & Hers, MessageBird, and Scopely.Ravi brings a wealth of experience around growth and secondary markets to the conversation, and it was really fun to discuss both of those areas in detail, particularly in light of the change in the markets over the last year. First, a word from our sponsor:Allocate is the digital operating system for investors looking to build and manage world class private portfolios within venture capital and other technology focused private assets. Despite the enormous growth of the private markets and the rapid increase of retail demand for private alternatives, investing in the highest quality private assets within the innovation sector remains inaccessible and opaque.Go to allocate.co to apply to be a member and join 400+ active Allocate users.

Big news coming out of Vida Health today as the chronic condition care startup announces that it will now be able to prescribe meds, med devices, lab tests, and more to its members. This puts Vida Health among the first of the digital health chronic care companies to evolve its offerings beyond apps-and-coaching, leading on this trend to take digital health chronic care into a more full expression of virtual care. Vida Health's Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Patrick Carroll, introduces us to the new offering which he tipped us off about when we met him a few months ago, new to his role at Vida and coming in hot from Hims & Hers where he built similar services as he took that company public as CMO. The new prescribing services will cover both sides of Vida Health's integrated model: mental health and cardiometabolic health, but in different ways. On the mental health side, Pat says members will be able to receive prescription meds for anxiety and depression ONLY at this time; on the cardiometabolic side, members working with Vida Health will NOT be able to get prescription drugs to help with diabetes or heart health, but would instead be able to get continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) prescribed, specialized diets, and labs, like A1C testing, that require a script. Do these prescribing services begin to turn Vida Health into a primary care provider? If not, how do these new prescribing and medication management roles integrate with whatever other primary care offering is in place through a member's plan or employer without adding cost or confusion to the patient experience? We talk through the evolution of both care model and business model as Vida Health adds another layer to its full-stack chronic condition management platform.

每日英語跟讀 Ep.K310: We're Drowning in Celebrity Beauty Brands   Anya Dua, the 17-year-old founder of Gen Z Identity Lab, an online platform for Gen Zers to express their views on politics, mental health, climate change and culture, remembers the first (and last) time she bought makeup from a celebrity beauty brand. 17歲的安雅．杜亞是「Z世代身分實驗室」創辦人，這是一個讓Z世代表達政治、心理健康、氣候變遷和文化觀點的線上平台。她回想起第一次（也是最後一次）購買名人自創美妝品牌化妝品的經驗。 She was 12 and used her mom's credit card to order a $29 Kylie Lip Kit in Candy K, a matte pink liquid lipstick and matching lip liner. Kylie Jenner's debut makeup product sold out in seconds when it went on sale in 2015 (the website crashed, too), catapulting the youngest Kardashian-Jenner sibling to beauty mogul status at age 18. 當時她12歲，用母親的信用卡訂購一套29美元的裸粉色凱莉唇彩組，包含一支粉紅色霧面液態唇膏和同色唇線筆。凱莉珍娜首次推出的自創品牌化妝品2015年一開賣，就在幾秒內售罄（官網也當機），讓卡戴珊-珍娜家族中年紀最輕的她，年僅18歲就躍登為美妝天后。 “It was a huge thing,” Dua said. “You needed to have one.” Lip Kits became so popular that they hit the New York City bar and bat mitzvah circuit. Emcees would toss the liquid lip colors and liners into a sea of dancing tweens in bandage dresses. 杜亞說：「那時超轟動的，一定要擁有。」這套唇彩組變得如此熱門，打進紐約市猶太教成年禮的圈子，主持人會把液態唇膏和唇線筆丟向一大群穿著緊身裝跳舞的青少女。 Fast-forward five years. 快轉五年就過了。 The global beauty market, which last year generated nearly $500 billion in sales, according to Euromonitor, a research firm, is teeming with celebrities, inundating social media feeds with lip gloss, face lotion and, most recently, vibrators (not technically beauty but beauty adjacent), with the promise of plump lips, glowing skin and a better sex life. 去年營業額近5000億美元（根據研究公司歐睿的資料）的全球美妝市場，如今擠滿了名人，使社群媒體貼文充斥著唇蜜、臉部乳液和最近出現的按摩棒（嚴格說來不是美妝品，但也接近了），保證給人豐唇、亮澤的肌膚和更好的性生活。 New lines come out at a dizzying rate. There's Harry Styles' Pleasing, nail polish in tiny glass jars that look like old-fashioned perfume bottles, and Machine Gun Kelly's UN/DN LAQR, nail polish with “paint splatter” shades and brushes for nail art. 新品問世速度之快，讓人眼花撩亂：有英國歌手哈利史泰爾斯自創品牌Pleasing，把指甲油裝在迷你玻璃罐，看來像老派的香水瓶；有美國歌手機關槍凱利自創品牌UN/DN LAQR，用「潑漆」色調和刷頭的指甲油做指甲彩繪。 Ariana Grande has a new makeup line, space-themed, as does Chiara Ferragni, pink and sparkly. Billie Eilish and Addison Rae have released fragrances. There's Lori Harvey's (daughter of Steve Harvey) SKN by LH skin care collection, and Demi Lovato's Demi Wand, an eight-speed vibrator (created with Bellesa, an internet pornography site marketed to women). 美國歌手亞莉安娜推出新的美妝產品線，以太空為主題，義大利時尚網紅琪亞拉法拉格尼也是，粉色且閃閃發亮。美國歌手怪奇比莉和網紅艾蒂森蕾都發布香水產品。還有洛瑞哈維（美國電視主持人史蒂夫哈維的女兒）的SKN by LH護膚系列，以及美國歌手黛咪洛瓦特的Demi Wand八段變速按摩棒（與鎖定女性的成人網站Bellesa合作）。 Hailey Bieber has just confirmed that her Rhode Beauty will go on sale next year. (Rhode is her middle name.) 加拿大歌手小賈斯汀的妻子海莉才剛證實，她的個人品牌「羅德美妝」明年上市。（羅德是她中間名。） It's starting to feel like satire. When the Alex Rodriguez concealer for men (a creation with Hims & Hers) landed in May and populated celebrity news accounts like The Shade Room, commenters thought it was a joke. 這開始讓人覺得諷刺。美國職棒退役球星A-Rod推出的男性遮瑕膏（與遠距醫療新創公司Hims & Hers合作）5月上市，並受到The Shade Room這類名人新聞帳號大幅報導時，一些評論家覺得不過是個玩笑。 “When I see a celebrity beauty brand, I just don't buy it,” Dua said. 杜亞說：「現在我看到名人自創美妝品牌，就是不會買。」Source article: https://udn.com/news/story/6904/6051426

TakeawaysIn this episode, Chris, Stephanie, and Chase each reviewed one health brand, discussing why the brand is notable in today's landscape.Cityblock: Better care, rooted in communitiesChase chose to discuss Cityblock, an emerging primary care organization for low-income communities.The pandemic highlighted and exacerbated health inequities, spotlighting the growing need to make quality healthcare accessible to low-income populations. In fact, The Commonwealth Fund found that in nearly every state, healthcare is better for white people.While we see more organizations getting into primary care for the commercially insured, Cityblock is making care more accessible for Medicare-insured populations.Cityblock is unique because they meet people where they're at – existing schools, churches, and community centers.Cityblock hires a lot of its medical care team members from the communities they serve. This helps the primary care innovator build trust and understanding with the communities it serves.Cityblock recently announced their Series D round of funding, bringing total funding to $900 million. Hims & Hers: A modern approach to health and wellnessHims & Hers is a company that encompasses prescription medicine, primary care, supplements, and CPG products.The company is built to provide better care to consumers with stigmatized conditions, such as those related to sexual health, mental health, and beauty.The company uniquely brings together prescription, beauty, and home health using a telemedicine platform and retail distribution networks.The company's valuation at IPO was about $1.6 billion, which is on par with what we've seen with OneMedical, showing gradual revenue growth over time.A lot of companies have tried to disrupt the pharmacy business, but many have failed because of cemented power dynamics and complex inner workings.Hims & Hers is breaking into this arena by making medicine less intimidating through beautiful design and branding. The No Normal team posits that consumers may find it less scary to receive a prescription in a beautiful bottle than a regular sick package. Apple: Think differentChris chose Apple to focus on as a health brand because most people don't consider apple a health brand, despite Tim Cook's bold belief that Apple's legacy will be in health.From fall detection features to EMR integrations, Apple's progression into healthcare has been steadily marked by high-tech devices, including wearables like Apple Watch and AirPods.Walking steadiness is a particularly notable feature because it is a new clinical metric that can be credited to a "non-healthcare" brand. We use quotes here for a reason. Apple, whether you believe it or not, is one of the fastest-growing health brands out there.Apple may have faltered a time or two as it entered the healthcare arena, but these stumbles are merely learning opportunities that the giant will use to inform future efforts.Apple was the first company to reach $1 trillion after 42 years of business. It took only two more years to get to be valued at $2 trillion. They are known for design and innovation and have enough capital to invest in healthcare. If you connect the dots, the reality is clear: Apple is ready to take on health care ... whether systems are ready or not.
