“I’ve always known that I was a female. Folks always ask ‘How did you know?’ It just was. It just is.” — Angelica Torres, NYC-native, lover of bathtubs and glitter, speaking about her experience being assigned the wrong gender at birth.

We cover SO much in this episode. From female rappers like Cardi B, Nicki Minaj and Azalea Banks, to identifying as a Trans woman at work. From RuPaul’s problematic comments on Trans women to being misgendered on Oprah. This conversation with Angelica is one that I am so grateful for, and is very much worth a revisit.

With her unforgettable wit, humor, and beauty, Gabrielle Union truly needs no introduction.

We were also joined by Gabrielle’s hair stylist and business partner, Larry Sims.

“It’s great to do this kind of makeup on yourself everyday for no reason.”- Donni Davy, Euphoria’s Head Makeup Artist

For her official podcast debut, I had the honor of sitting down with Donni Davy AKA the makeup mastermind behind HBO’s Euphoria. If you’ve been watching this unforgettable show for the past year, or if your social media feed has continuously been flooded with looks that can only be described as “glamorous, adolescent doom”, then you know this is a big deal. HUGE. Donni has helped to set a beauty standard that not only accepts neon, rhinestones, and glitter, but demands it. Whether it be a show like Euphoria or an Oscar-winning film like Moonlight, her unique approach to makeup as self-expression is a true gift. After growing up in Venice, California as the child of two artists, and then moving to Brooklyn for art school, this level of genius comes as no surprise. But of course, the journey wasn’t always easy. Tune in for a raw conversation on growing into one’s confidence, being an art school kid, and hustling no matter what. Enjoy!

Social media has bred this idea that you get out of college and you are this superstar...It gives off this perception that you don’t need to put in the work anymore.- Naomi Elizée, Vogue Editor and Podcast Host

When I think of Naomi Elizée, the first word that comes to mind is hustler. Even from age 7, Vogue’s Associate Market Editor could not help but dream of her future career. And by the time she was in college, that passion only continued, leading her to endless internships from Saks Off 5th to Seventeen magazine. Today, between her ambitious job in fashion and her podcast So...What Do You Do Again?, it is clear that Naomi is helping to create a path for other young black women in the industry. Tune in for our discussion on black-owned designers, paying your dues, and practicing radical self-care.

I stopped wanting to be a pretty girl. I wanted a beauty, and that really does start from the inside.- the bright and beautiful artist Kirby

No one evokes love and positivity quite like this week’s guest: Kirby. The singer, songwriter, and activist sat down with me for an extremely honest conversation on her now viral video “How to Make A Non Racist Breakfast,” which led the Aunt Jemima brand and logo to be retired. But of course, that was not all. We talked about her childhood in Mississippi, decolonizing her beauty standards, and seeking nothing but positivity when it comes to her music. Naked Beauty Planet you are going to want to get into THIS! Sit back, relax and tune in for a truly iconic interview.

Creator Kellie Brown is aspirational - in fact she claims the term ‘Fat Icon’ boldly. With years of experience in the NY PR game, and passion for plus-sized representation, Kellie is helping the world to redefine its relationship with the word “fat”. We talk about how all of the brands are reaching out to work with black creators right now, how she takes care of herself, what she learned working with Shark Tank’s Daymond John, starting #fatatfashionweek & why brands have so much more work to do in being truly inclusive.

As the Senior Research & Education Manager at Paula’s Choice, Desiree Stordahl believes that skincare is nothing without the ingredients that define it.

She picked up a copy of Paula Begoun’s Beauty Bible, and the rest is history! Today, Storedahl not only understands her own skin, but is able to help so many others through her extensive dermatological research.

While the past few weeks have been exhausting for many of us black folks, inequality has always been a part of the narrative. And yet still, we create, innovate and continue to push boundaries. This is our magic, and on Naked Beauty, it is something that I have tried to highlight through a number of black women. With that, I decided to use this episode to revisit their experiences, and their collective articulation of both the beauty and the struggle of simply being themselves. So please, sit back, listen and reflect. This is a message that needs to be heard.

“Inflammation is all around us, it affects our health, our skin, and it’s something we need to pay attention to.”

I had the pleasure of sitting down with THE Dr. Barbara Sturm to discuss her life-long love of science, her journey as an entrepreneur, and of course, her iconic line of skin care products. To my long-time listeners you know that beauty editors live for this brand, and are particularly grateful for it’s Darker Skin Tones line. And so of course, I had to sit down and talk to the famous doctor herself about why she created these products in the first place. But that was just the beginning. Tune in for an extremely informative episode on anti-inflammatory skincare, the challenges of creating expensive products, and so much more!

Aala Marra is a very special person who's been able to self-heal and overcome a lot! Only 26, she's deeply aware of her purpose and it's so inspiring - I got a little emotional during this one. Revisiting this episode from 2018, tune in to hear a timely discussion on the importance of self-care. She's Sudanese-American and grew up in between cultures. We talk about how Sudanese women approach beauty, her relationship with her hair and how it changed when she got sick. Women's health and chronic illness is something that's not discussed often and so Aala is willing to talk about her private experience in detail – from the moment her hair kept falling out, getting rashes on her skin, experiencing chronic fatigue, migraines, muscle pain, etc. and then slowly rebuilding from there.We discuss the role of doctors verses a holistic approach, how her illness made her feel ugly for the first time in her life and how to handle a serious diagnosis. She discovered Dr. Sebi and began implementing these holistic principles to create a cleanse. An elimination diet addressed her gut/digestive issues. Aala explains how she compliments herself to feel empowered and how minding your business, drinking water are her top beauty tips!

“Approach everything in life with compassion, and before you know it you will feel the shift”

When you meet Trinity Mouzon, it immediately becomes clear that she not only understands wellness, but truly lives and breathes the concept. After growing up in Saratoga, New York, and watching her mother’s health drastically transform through the use of holistic treatments, Trinity became enamored with the idea using food as medicine. However, after learning that holistic medicine often failed to provide economically sustainable solutions, she set out to create a brand that could truly bring wellness to the masses. From there, GOLDE was born. Tune in to hear the full story behind her growing business, favorite beauty products, and experience as a young, black, female entrepreneur!
