Ep. 83: “People say that I’m walking art” ft Raisa Flowers
“I work backstage and it teaches you so much. The models are getting so many photos taken of them, so you have to be perfect.” - my guest makeup artists & model, Raisa Flowers
Raisa is an icon in the beauty game and I’ve been wanting to interview her for so long! She’s done everything from hit the runway as a model for Rihanna’s most recent Savage x Fenty show to working with musicians to working at fashion week’s top shows. The NY native continuously serves some of the most eccentric looks within the beauty industry, earning her a seat on the Dazed 100, and features in publications such as Vogue and The Cut. We talk black punks, makeup brushes, family & more!

Ep. 82: Retinol, Cleansers & Snail Cream Ft Mandi Nyambi, CEO of Baalm
With degrees in Regenerative Biology & Nutrition from Harvard, Mandi Nyambi truly has skincare down to a science. Which is why the skincare consultation network she co-founded, the baalm (formerly Le Culture Club) is set to become such a trust-worthy name among beauty enthusiasts. I loved talking with Mandi and getting all my burning skincare questions answered, hearing about her Cameroonian background, ingredients to look for & skincare that’s worth paying for!
