A new episode of Girl, Get Up: UNLOCKED just dropped.

🎧Episode 11: Gladys Knight at 82: Preserving Our Legends

What does it mean to truly preserve a legend? In this deeply compassionate episode of Girl, Get Up: UNLOCKED, Ms. Cee Jones examines Gladys Knight's (The "Empress of Soul) courageous decision at 82 to ease into fewer performances and reclaim her personal life. At 82, after nearly three-quarters of a century of entertaining the world, Gladys Knight announced she's stepping back from the relentless touring schedule to focus on what matters most: her husband, her grandchildren, and the next chapter of her life. This episode redefines what "preservation" actually means and asks uncomfortable questions about the industry, the media, and us as fans. Is preserving a legend about demanding constant access, or is it about honoring their right to step back gracefully?

The people who achieve extraordinary things aren't those with perfect circumstances. They're those who understand that obstacles are part of the path, not the end of it.

Don't wait for perfect conditions. Start moving toward your vision despite imperfect circumstances.

That's how you build a life worth living. 💪

Girl Get Up

Salutations Girl, Get Up Collective...When did we decide that women 35+ became invisible? And more importantly, when are we going to stop accepting that lie?

Jeri Guyette-Beckles, CEO and Founder of Vintage Vixen Cosmetics, LLC got tired of waiting.

She looked at the beauty industry and saw a blinding injustice: Women were being erased the moment they aged past a certain age.

The industry had spoken. The message was clear: Youth is the only beauty. Youth is the only market worth serving. Women 35+ and finer are an afterthought.

Well, Jeri refused that narrative.

She didn't ask for the beauty industry to change. She BUILT a new luxury beauty brand that reshaped the industry, Vintage Vixen Cosmetics for women 35+ and finer!

"Women 35+ aren't an afterthought. We're a REVOLUTION."

Here's the revolutionary truth:

💄Your beauty doesn't expire.
💄Your skin doesn't become "less than" after 35.
💄Your desirability doesn't decline with your age.
💄Your relevance doesn't fade just because the industry says so.

When an industry refuses to serve you, the answer isn't to accept invisibility.

The answer is to build your own brand.

🎧 Download the latest Girl, Get Up Expert Spotlight: Episode 110: Vintage Vixen Cosmetics: How Jeri Guyette-Beckles Is Changing Beauty Standards for Middle-Aged Women

Hear how one woman refused invisibility and created a beauty revolution for women 35+ and finer.

Salutations Girl, Get Up Collective!

This upcoming Sunday, August 16th at 1 PM EST, I’m excited to introduce my next Girl, Get Up Expert, Jeri Guyette-Beckles (Jay), the visionary founder and CEO of Vintage Vixen Cosmetics, LLC.

Vintage Vixen Cosmetics is a luxury beauty brand revolutionizing representation for multi-ethnic, middle-aged women, 35 and "Finer", who are tired of being invisible in an industry obsessed with youth. In this Girl, Get Up: Expert Spotlight conversation, Jeri shares her jaw-dropping journey from passionate five-year-old makeup enthusiast to cosmetics entrepreneur, overcoming impossible odds, tariffs, manufacturing challenges, and a beauty industry that told her, “It can't be done."— Well, she did it, and she did it her way! Vintage Vixen Cosmetics isn't just lipstick; it's a rebellion.

Jeri didn't just create products, she created representation. This episode explores Jeri’s philosophy of being exclusive rather than everyone, the intersection of beauty and self-acceptance, the science behind skin aging and menopause, and how one woman's refusal to accept "no" created a brand that's changing what beauty looks like. Hear about her unexpected pivots, her experiences as a Black entrepreneur in beauty, the personal challenges of balancing entrepreneurship with real-life, and her unwavering belief that women deserve to feel radiant at any age.

This episode is perfect for women 35+ seeking beauty products that actually honor their skin, entrepreneurs building product-based businesses, beauty professionals interested in formulation science, and women interested in disrupting ageism and representation in beauty.

Girl Get Up

Salutations, Girl, Get Up Collective!

We are right back at it this week, picking up exactly where we left off.

Stay tuned for upcoming Girl, Get Up Podcast Expert Spotlight features and new conversations from Girl, Get Up: UNLOCKED.

But before we jump into everything ahead, today’s message for the Collective is this: PERFECTION CAN’T BE RUSHED.

We live in a world that celebrates speed.
➡️Launch faster.
➡️Grow faster.
➡️Achieve faster.
➡️Become successful faster.

But some things need time.

✅Your vision needs time to develop.
✅Your confidence needs time to grow.
✅Your skills need time to sharpen.
✅Your ideas need time to mature.

And sometimes, you need time to become ready for what you have been asking for.

Do not mistake slow progress for no progress.

There are seasons when the work happening behind the scenes is just as important as the moment everyone eventually gets to see.

So give yourself permission to learn.
🦋To adjust.
🦋To refine.
🦋To rest when necessary.
🦋And to keep building without rushing the process.

What you are creating does not have to happen overnight to be meaningful.

Sometimes the greatest things take time because you are not just building the outcome, you are becoming the person capable of sustaining it.

So this week, keep moving with intention.

Do not rush what deserves to be built well.

Perfection can’t be rushed… and neither can becoming.

Ms. Cee Jones💚
