Olay is proud to be back for a second year with P&G as a sponsor of the Queen Collective to accelerate gender and racial equality behind the camera. Olay applauds the fearless filmmakers of ‘Gloves Off’ for shattering the norms and diversifying the film industry. Now, more than ever we need stories like that of Tiara Brown. She is a true role model and Olay shares her mission to help the hopeless find hope while changing perceptions to overcome bias to achieve her dreams. Check out the world premiere of ‘Gloves Off’ on BET Saturday, June 13 at 9pm.
About the Film:
Gloves Off follows the story of Tiara Brown, an undefeated boxing champion and the first Black woman to be Washington, D.C.'s Officer of the Year. By day, she forges new ways to serve her community and by night, she laces up and fights to make a name for herself in the boxing ring. As Tiara works to excel in two worlds where she has often been told she doesn't belong, she perseveres each day, not only for herself but for everyone like her.
