Cynthia Interview on Australian TV for Cotton On BTWF

[Joshie S 5,507]

Cynthia is in Australia for the BTWF X Cotton On collaboration and here she is being interviewed on a local nightly prime time segment for The Project.

The hosts go on to ask about the infamous meat dress, and when Lady Gaga, Stefani, needs her mother the most.

Aussie Monsters - to me this seems like Gaga is trying to shine light on Aus...I might be delulu but is she planning on finally returning after almost 10 years of not being down under??

I'll believe it when I see it... 

The cynical side of me figures she's just down here to promote it purely because Cotton On is such a well known brand here.

Forget tours here, she wants that clothing money instead

I loved this interview because Cynthia always seems like such a genuinely caring and warm person. But I really wish the BTWF would tell us more about where all the money is going. I feel like I've known of the foundation and it's 'work' for 11 years or so but never heard anything more about what they do other than "provide mental health resources" and "study and research mental health". Gimme infooo. I want to stan what they're doing and be proud but idk what the hell they do

100% of the sales of it go directly to BTW foundation… I get the BTW newsletter and they mentioned it there in detail... I thought everyone on here knew?

There is a website & a newsletter… and it’s full of information 

this is just one link with a long ass pdf of info about what they do: https://bornthisway.foundation/ourimpact/

but most people are not interested in that - only when Gaga speaks about it in an interview

From the newsletter:

It has been my dream for Born This Way Foundation’s work to expand globally in an intentional, youth-led way. To partner with young people across the world to encourage mental health conversations and expand knowledge about and access to mental health resources. Today, I am so proud to announce that through a partnership with Cotton On Foundation, the global philanthropic arm of the Australian retailer, Cotton On, we will be able to do just that.

From today through World Mental Health Day, October 10, 2023, Cotton On Foundation will donate 100% of net proceeds from an exclusive “Kinder, Braver, Together” product line, with the goal of raising $5M USD to support global youth mental health. I invite you to click here to learn more.

Here is a message from my daughter introducing the partnership: (video of Gaga  that I can’t embed)

This $5M USD will allow us to expand our work to 10 countries across the world and I am also excited to invite you, as a member of our Born This Way Foundation community, to join us by:

Earning your Be There Certificate and inviting a friend to do the same.

When we are prepared to have kind, safe, and informed conversations about mental health to help ourselves and our loved ones, we’re helping to reduce stigma and share necessary resources and support. The Be There Certificate is a free, online mental health course available in English, French, and Spanish that provides a simple and actionable framework, teaching people how to recognize when someone might be struggling, understand their role in supporting that person, and learn how to connect them to the help they need and deserve. Earn your Be There Certificate and invite a loved one to join you by visiting: certificate.bethere.org/cottonon.

Nominating a community organization to receive funding to support youth mental health.

In partnership with Cotton On Foundation, Born This Way Foundation is dedicating $1,500,000 USD in Kindness in Community Fund grants to fund free, accessible, community-informed resources to support youth mental health. We request nominations of NGOs based in Australia, Brazil, Hong Kong, Malaysia, New Zealand, South Africa, Thailand, the United Kingdom, and the United States. Learn more and nominate an organization at: bornthisway.foundation/kic.

Whether you are earning your Be There Certificate, nominating a local organization to receive a Kindness in Community Fund grant, sharing about this partnership online, or practicing intentional kindness for yourself or a loved one, we are grateful for every single thing you do to help build a kinder, braver world. You and your kindness are important and needed.

In Kindness,

Cynthia Bissett Germanotta
President + Co-Founder

Has Cynthia always used Bissett in her signature as well? I've been wondering, with all the Joe shenanigans

That's a good point I don't think I've ever seen that before...is it possible they split?

They were together on Jazz & Piano show last night, sitting with Michael and Alex tho

[MelbHawker 6,242]

Cynthia really is MOTHERING 10 minutes away from my house like ghoooorl the studio they film this show in is literally down the road from me.

[SimonBaetens 3,690]

Too bad the collection is so underwhelming because the intention behind it is great.

That's so strange... I just had a look at the old newsletters and I found one from September 2020 and there it says Cynthia Germanotta (although she still uses Germanotta)
