A Shared Vision: Lady Gaga and Sephora Champion Beauty and Belonging

The film highlights “Classes for Confidence,” a program that brings community members together around a shared passion for beauty and storytelling.
“At Sephora, we're driven by our Purpose to champion a world of inspiration and inclusion where everyone can celebrate their beauty,” said Deborah Yeh, Global Chief Marketing Officer of Sephora. “Lady Gaga’s personal story is a magnificent illustration of the values we promote every day and having her sharing her own feeling about what Sephora is all about is an incredible testimony for us.”

"We’re honored to partner with Sephora and Haus Labs to reach even more young people with the message that they are seen, valued, and supported.”
