Actors have oft criticized Hollywood's consistent failure to employ hair and makeup artists of colour on set of some of the biggest projects out there, and the overall lack of representation of Black beauty professionals in the industry has consistently become a topic of conversation over the past few years. It was for this reason — paired with last summer's racial reckoning and the pandemic that disproportionately affected Black and brown communities — that the majority of the Pose hair team is made up of Black hairstylists.
"It was imperative to create an open forum in the hair trailer to discuss these issues with the actors and also with my entire team of hairstylists. The hair team is made up of vibrant, beautiful, and talented Black hairstylists who put their heart and soul into the work," Moe said. "So much of what you see on camera is the inspired, skillful work of these individuals. In order for anyone to do their best work, they need to feel respect and support in the workplace."
Moe's team consisted of stylists like Timothy Harvey, Tene Wilder, and Greg Bazemore, among others. "We cried a lot, but laughed even more and, together, built a beautiful family that will be bonded for life," he said.
