What is the Artistic Inclusion trend?
Artistic Inclusion: Artistic and beauty-related brands are slowly responding to the activism of people with disabilities by including these individuals in the various realms they specialize in. This comes as inclusion becomes less of a marketing term and more of a business model, shifting it away from the illusion of "progressiveness," and into practical functions and features.
