From beauty sellouts to executive shakeups and major media moves, here’s what’s shaping the latest headlines in business this week.

Welcome to Black Wealth Watch, where we round up the biggest stories in Black business and economic news each week — the wins, the setbacks, the deals getting done, and the conversations we should be having about money, power, and who actually gets a seat at the table.
