Elyse Cohen on the Rosenzweig Report

Our unique cosmetics company Rare Beauty was built with purpose at the center of the business, driven largely by our incredible founder, Selena Gomez. That purpose has always been addressing mental health and self-acceptance – something that far too many women struggle with. Even before Rare Beauty had products out on store shelves or for sale through rarebeauty.com, she launched the Rare Impact Fund, making dual commitments to donate 1% of her brand sales to the Rare Impact Fund and committing to raise $100M for youth mental health around the world. This is not simply a one time promotion; this is our long-term commitment to help alleviate the stigma associated with mental health and increase access to mental health services for young people. Jay’s passion for mental health, his support for our work, and his empowerment of young women shines through and is greatly valued. He has been our champion since day one and we are grateful to have him in our corner. He founded the Rosenzweig Report almost two decades ago with a clear purpose: the promotion of gender equality and diversity in business and society at large. Over two decades, Jay and his company have not wavered from that purpose.
