7. Five Graduates and Five New Interns
This year, our Flawless interns and fellows celebrated great milestones. Five of them graduated from college and we welcomed five new interns to our Flawless family. Some of our Fellows were with us for three years and while it was sad to say Goodbye, we know that they will continue to spread flawless love and inclusion in whatever they do.
