“My mom, my girlfriends, my colleagues, and many others all stop by, along with someone you’re pretty familiar with: @BarackObama is my first guest on 7/29.”

Others guests who will appear in future episodes include former senior advisor to President Obama, Valerie Jarrett, and talk show host Conan O’Brien.

The podcast is produced by Higher Ground Productions, founded by the Obamas in 2018. The company has also made content deals with Netflix.

The podcast will hold discussions on variety of topics including the coronavirus pandemic and the protest movement sparked by the death in police custody of George Floyd.

Obama released her Netflix documentary “Becoming” in May. Since then, more than 11.5 million copies pf her book ‘Becoming’ have been sold, and tens of thousands of people attended book events across the United States and abroad.

Hindustan Unilever has decided to change the name of its popular skincare brand “Fair & Lovely” to “Glow & Lovely”. The company added that the skin cream for men will be called “Glow & Handsome”. The product has been widely criticised for using racist imagery and promoting negative stereotypes related to darker skin tones.

Fair and Lovely was introduced in the market way back in 1975. For years, the product has been widely criticised for promoting negative stereotypes related to darker skin tones and termed light-colored skin as the standard of beauty in South Asia.

The company claimed that on June 25 it had removed the words “fair”, “whitening” and “lightening” from its product. It said that the brand is committed to “celebrating all skin tones”, and will feature women of all skin types in future advertising campaigns.

This move comes in the wake of anti-racism protests that have been held in the west since the death of George Floyd, an African American man who was killed by police in Minneapolis.
