Actress, singer, television host, and entrepreneur Adrienne Bailon has spent her career breaking barriers and paving the way for women of color in the entertainment industry. In 2013, she became the first Latina daytime television host when she joined The Real. Her accomplishments are a product of faith, hard work, and gratitude which is why her collaboration with Olay is a match made in heaven.
Olay has become a part of Bailon’s self care routine and the brand aligns with her own values by working to empower women of color especially in the entrepreneur space. With balancing a busy career and being an entrepreneur she has learned that self care is a must. The partnership with Olay not only offers the opportunity to empower women of color, but the Olay body products have become her self-care staples. Olay is supporting women of color through their partnership with LISC NYC which provides support for female entrepreneurs in areas such as Washington Heights. Olay products offer an opportunity to unwind at home, and the brand is working towards empowering entrepreneurs and building equity for women of color.
Bailon being both Puerto Rican and an entrepreneur has been able to learn valuable lessons about owning her own business and is able to offer wisdom to women looking to follow in her footsteps. For many women of color Bailon serves as an inspiration through her ability to balance being a daytime host, business owner, singer, and actress.
Bailon working in the entertainment industry for years and now being a business owner has required her to stay true to herself while balancing being the accountant, manager, spokesperson, and boss of her own businesses.

We took the ferry over to Governor’s Island last Friday evening for a night of art films showcased by New Art Dealers Alliance at their third edition of NADA House. Amidst other groups of art lovers sprawled out on picnic blankets, we settled in on NADA’s lawn to watch the short film collections as dusk fell upon the island.
New Art Dealers Alliance, or NADA, is a collaborative group of professional artists working on contemporary art and hoping to foster a community-oriented dialogue throughout the art industry. Some of their goals are to make contemporary art more accessible to the public, and to nurture growth of emerging artists by opening doors to new opportunities. NADA House, their installment on Governor’s Island, does exactly that. From May 8th to August 1st of this year, NADA House showcases “gallery presentations in over 50 rooms in three neighboring turn-of-the-century colonial revival buildings” and is open to the public. This year’s collection focuses on the complex colonial history of Governor’s Island, through auditory, sculptural, and traditional visual artwork.
Their film program last Friday featured video screenings from artists Alejandro Almanza Pereda (anonymous gallery), Michael Portnoy (anonymous gallery), Tako Taal (Patricia Fleming Gallery), William Scott (Creative Growth Art Center), Laida Lertxundi (Emma Leigh Macdonald), Rose Nestler (Projet Pangée) and Evan Mast (Brackett Creek Exhibitions). The first film was a parody of medication TV ads, taking more than a few dark turns. The second was an eerie montage of trash, appearing to be filmed in a single take, and ended on a still shot of a motorcycle. The third film, “On the Meaning of Gossip” highlighted how the term gossip has been used to degrade women over the course of history, through an auditory explanation with a backdrop of hands playing cat’s cradle, colorful mouths speaking to each other, and psychedelic colored flowers. The fourth film focused on a birthmark potentially becoming dangerous, and signaled time passing. The fifth film consisted of different city shots and a man dressed as Darth Vader sitting in a tree surrounded by pigeons. The sixth was a long feature of fruits balancing on a tightrope, falling either up or down slowly, reminiscent of a still life painting. Finally, the last film, “Footnotes to a House of Love” featured couples in a desert landscape and base players striking different notes.
Each film conveyed a certain tone and meaning to the audience, some more clear and rigid and others loosely open to interpretation. After the screening concluded, guests clambered back onto the ferry for the last ride back to Manhattan, their thoughts ripe with decoding the films’ messages.
