Brand Rewind

02/01/2024

A lot has happened since we last posted here. We're kicking off the new year with a renewed commitment to keep this page updated with the latest news about personal and business brands, and the lessons we can all learn, or at least debate. The biggest news of the day - and no doubt for days to come - is the resignation of Claudine Gay, the first Black president of Harvard University. What are your thoughts? Should she have? Could she have survived?

Embattled Harvard President Claudine Gay resigned on Tuesday in a letter to the Harvard community.

You may have seen my article in last week's Brand Rewind newsletter about the Oklahoma sheriff's department officials caught on a recording making comments seeming to lament the inability to lynch Black people. Maybe it shouldn't have, but those comments shocked and disappointed me. Where do we go from here? How do we unpack this? What do we do with our own shock and anger? - Denise

Thanks to those who joined us on yesterday's Brand Rewind Live. We explored numerous stories, including those hot of the so-called presses: the former president's indictment and Gwyneth Paltrow's $1 victory in a lawsuit brought against her. We also took a deep dive inside four other brands, including American Idol and Beyonce, and had an exhilarating discussion around unusual celebrity names. Mark your calendar for our next edition of Live on April 13 at 8pm ET!
