Ep. 87: Beauty Brand DNA Ft Amanda Baldwin, President of Supergoop!
“Every great brand has something in it that’s very unique and distinctive and belongs on this planet, and the best brands are the ones that know how to take that and constantly evolve it. Those brands stand the test of time.” - my guest, Amanda Baldwin
Over the past three years, UV protection brand Supergoop! (est. 2007) has rapidly become a household name, and it’s no surprise that President Amanda Baldwin is behind the effort. Having received degrees from both Harvard and Wharton, experience as a private equity investor and marketing director at Dior and Clinique, Baldwin has an unparalleled understanding of both beauty technology and narrative. Now, as her work with Supergoop! founder Holly Thaggard continues to grow, the duo’s number one mission is to build an education and love around a product that so many people tend to avoid: sunscreen! Listen to hear us discuss:
How to stand out when trying to start a career in beauty
Brand DNA and origin story of Supergoop
The business of beauty and how it’s changed
What she learned working at LVMH
What every great brand has
The story behind the famous (& my fave) Unseen Sunscreen
What clean beauty really even means?
& so much more

Ep. 86: Deconstructing the "Ideal" Black Female Ft Mandy Harris Williams
Harlem-born, LA-based artist Mandy Harris Williams is thinking about beauty on a *much deeper* level. This was the intellectual beauty I conversation I've been chasing all 2019. Mandy’s ultimate aesthetic: summering on Martha’s Vineyard with a strong no-makeup skin flex. Listen to hear Mandy & I discuss the mythology behind the ‘ideal’ black woman, being ‘uglied’, fitting into cultural norms, high heels as a manifestation of the patriarchy and how we feel about white women wearing braids. We also get into:
How beauty privilege manifests itself
Hyper-pigmentation & acne scarring
Tattoos & her art career
Hair identity politics
How institutions like Jack & Jill, Trinity & Harvard can shape your self-perception
& so much more. This is one of my favorite episodes, please enjoy! And if you love it please take the time to give the show a rating & review on the Apple Podcast app. Tag me @NakedBeautyPlanet with a screenshot as you’re listening to support.

Ep. 85: Hyper-Creative Nails Ft Sylvie Macmillan
“Nails can be just as important as jewelry” - my guest Sylvie Macmillan. Sylvie's journey to becoming a talented nail technician was anything but direct. After receiving a degree in technical arts and special effects, and working as a graphic designer and model maker, the Bath local could have done anything. Yet her lifelong love for nails was an affection that couldn't be ignored. With clients like Vogue, Dazed, and Fashion East designer Asai under her belt, it’s clear that Macmillan is well on her way to becoming one of the best nail techs in the industry. Listen to hear us discuss:
How Sylvie works to a brief when creating nail looks whether it’s for runway, editorial or a private client
Nail art and having a relationship with your manicurist
How to make your nails healthy, cuticle care & why the same nails always break
Anti-aging & getting hotter as she gets older
Calluses on feet, dead skin & regular exfoliation
Getting used to acrylic nails, nail appropriation & cultural appropriation
Having a bath & wearing fragrance & orgasm

Ep. 80: Trust the Timing of Your Life Ft Madison Utendahl
Creative freedom, the role of therapy, patience with your hair, your skin, the joys of being alone, affirming your own destiny, setting intentions...so much of this very special episode with Madison is about trusting the timing of your life. I’ve admired Madison, founder of Utendahl Creative , for years! She was the force behind some of my favorite work at Refinery29, social director for the Museum of Ice Cream & overall industry thought leader. It was a joy to learn more about her story and discuss everything from:
Coming into her own as a solo entrepreneur after having success so early
Healing her skin with natural products
Going to Paris to get re-centered
A therapist who ‘gets it’
Coming to terms with her blackness, going blonde and then back to black
SUNSCREEN *spoiler* we love Supergoop
Cruelty-free beauty
Lip liner as the secret essential step to any makeup routine
What she learned about beauty from her time at Refinery29

Ep. 79: A Fashion Career, Overcoming Cystic Acne & Posting Fire Bikini Pics Ft Chrissy Rutherford
An encore episode with Harper’s Bazaar senior digital fashion editor, Chrissy Rutherford. Chrissy has some advice for hopefuls wanting to work in fashion: "If you don’t love it, you won’t last a week”. Chrissy tells me what it’s like being a digital editor and why her perspective as a woman of color is important right now. We discuss foundation (who is it really for?),miracle cures for cystic acne and her relationship with her hair dresser. My favorite part of the interview? Chrissy gives me her candid POV on posting bikini pics and it’s an attitude more women could learn from.

From product development at Glossier to the front lines of L’Oreal — Diarrha has seen a lot and I was so eager to hear all the beauty TEA & it is *hot* – I had a jaw on the floor moment during our chat!

why you don’t need expensive cleanser
skin bleaching vs skin brightening
makeup as second skin

Marjon Carlos is a writer, cultural critic, speaker and editor whose work I’ve admired for years.

Ep. 72: Being Chic AF by Doing Whatever You Want Ft Sophia Roe
“I have a story. It’s hard, it’s gnarly but it’s not about the story, it’s what you do with it.” - Sophia Roe, my incredible guest for this special episode of Naked Beauty.
Sophia’s wisdom, humor and excitement for life are all so refreshing and a joy to witness. I loved learning about how she got her start in high-end restaurants, then to catering, and how her love of food has evolved over time. We talk clean beauty and the correlation between skin and food, make-up girls vs skincare girls, curly hair care, and how her esthetician changed her skin forever.
Sophia grew up in and out of foster care. Her mother, who suffered from substance abuse and addiction, was still there for her in her own unique way that Sophia remembers fondly. We talk about how her iconic haircut came to her in a dream, moving to New York City and finding her style. She shares that she got her first manicure at 28 and what it was like for her to suddenly work at an office when she began working at MILK Makeup.
Listen to hear us discuss: tattoos, infrared facials, finding confidence when you need to be on camera, lack of diversity in the wellness industry and how she handles it, her must-have beauty products, the book she’s writing and so much more!

Ep. 70: Like Mother, Like Daughter Ft Hannah & Sherry Bronfman
Hannah Bronfman is one of the most inspiring, ambitious, down to earth women I know & when you meet her Mom and hear their story— it all makes sense. Loved talking to this powerful Mother-Daughter duo for this special episode of Naked Beauty 💗
Hannah talks about how watching her Mom create opportunities for herself (like writing her own fan mail!) inspires her to hustle (9:59). Sherry ‘Peaches’ Brewer came to NY from Chicago on the Greyhound Bus, determined to make it (12:29) and she speaks about the power of dance to teach self-esteem (16:22) and the source of Hannah’s confidence (18:26). We discuss glam squads & hair stylists then & now (23:30) and even though Hannah gets to work with the best — she can’t get her hair styled naturally via glam squad (25:30) We talk setting hair with beer (33:27)Afros & the global epidemic of cosmetic surgery (35:11).
Other gems:
Hannah on being a first-generation mixed kid in social media (36:45)
Natural skincare recipes in Do What Feels Good (44:51)
Why Sherry loves Reiki & Acupuncture (50:20)
Hannah on body contouring massages (53:00)

Ep. 69: Leftovers: Getting Into the Gloss Ft Utibe Mbagwu + Ashley Weatherford
Some leftovers from my discussion with Ashley Weatherford (senior editor at Into the Gloss) and Utibe Mbagwu (social at Into the Gloss)! We talk about the challenge of being 'the only one' and what it's like the sole person of color on a team. Utibe and Ashley share their transition to going natural and thoughts about how the beauty conversation has changed over the years. Utibe, who manages social for @intothegloss, shares some insights on social strategy and her must-have beauty products [like retinol from a french pharmacy naturally].

Ep. 68: Live Life Free ft Besidone Amoruwa
Happiness-inducing morning routines, skin-perfecting color corrector, expert facials & head-turning natural hair looks –– Besidone and I get into at all in this AMAZING episode of Naked Beauty. You’re all going to fall in love with Besidone because not only is she an incredible career-woman but she’s also so spiritually grounded.
Besidone shares her experience growing up in LA with Nigerian parents who instilled a love and appreciation for her culture in her early. We talk about how life can begin to go so fast that you forget to process and she shares how she creates moments of self-care for herself. For Besidone, it’s all about putting her brain & body in a place for maximum efficiency & happiness. From her esthetician to her brow-person, Besidone believes in finding people you can spiritually connect with for your beauty services & investing in the best! “Live life free” and “life is real” are tatted on her fingers and listening to her story has taught me more about how to embrace life to the fullest!
