EBIN New York Under Fire for Racial Discrimination in The Workplace

A Black former employee, Samiyah Gaddy (@Miylifestyle on TikTok), went viral after sharing her unpleasant experiences working at EBIN New York, a hair and beauty product company specializing in Black hair care. In a four-part video series, Gaddy detailed her time as the company's only Black employee, describing feelings of ostracization and instances where her Korean colleagues held side conversations in their native language. She even recounted a troubling work trip to Atlanta where the hotel booked for her was unacceptably unclean.

Social media users found Gaddy's story particularly disturbing given that most of EBIN New York's corporate staff, including CEO John Park, are Korean. This led to widespread online support for Gaddy and calls to boycott the brand. Additionally, other ex-employees have come forward with similar accounts of their experiences.
