Happy Hispanic Heritage Month from all of us here at Luminary!? September 15th marks the date of independence for several Latin American countries, and this month is a time to celebrate the Hispanic trailblazers who have led the way for us all. While we celebrate the diversity of our community year round, we’re excited to take this time to further uplift all the wonderful contributions the Hispanic community makes to both our community and the world as a whole. Give us a hand in celebrating our Hispanic Luminaries this month by supporting Hispanic-owned businesses and using your personal platform to boost Hispanic voices. We thank our Hispanic community Members for being a part of Luminary - you make our community a special place.??

Our hearts are with all who have lost a loved one or have been affected by the events of September 11th, 2001. Every year, we honor the memories of those lost and the resilience of our nation in the face of unspeakable horrors. We encourage everyone to take a moment to reflect - on the innocent lives taken, the bravery of those who risked their lives to save others, and of the impact this day has had on the world for the past 23 years.

We’re celebrating National Hot Flash Day over here at Luminary! We believe in celebrating and embracing women in every stage of their lives, which is why Luminary founder and CEO Cate Luzio is joining the conversation with Stripes Beauty to decrease the stigma around hot flashes and the various stages of menopause. As women, we’re often discouraged to speak about these things which is why it’s crucial for everyone to get involved - there’s no shame in something that’s a natural part of life. Join Cate and the rest of the Luminary community in empowering women to speak about their peri and menopausal journey by using #NationalHotFlash day. Thank you to Stripes Beauty for commemorating a massive stage in the lives of women everywhere and opening up the doors to redefine the narrative around women and menopause!?
