I want to take a moment to address the recent backlash concerning the sponsorship with a natural diamond company in our most recent video (that has since been deleted).
I’ve taken time to reflect and understand the concerns of the people who commented. It was never my intention to support or promote any practices that are unethical or harmful. After listening to your feedback and doing more research, I recognise that partnering with a company from that industry was a misinformed decision that overlooked some important concerns with the industry. As a result, I have now taken down the video and cut ties with said company.
This situation was a valuable learning experience, and moving forward we will be doing our very best to be more mindful and responsible with our partnerships.
Thank you for your trust and support. I do not take it for granted and will do better next time. We will re-upload the video next week without any sponsor.
