Ep. 107: [Leftovers] Motherhood & Creating Life ft Julee Wilson, Global Beauty Director Essence

“I thought I was a feminist before. You can’t tell me sh*t about women now. We bring whole entire lives into this world” my guest Julee Wilson on the experience of childbirth. 

Join Julee, Global Beauty Director of Essence, and I on this leftover’s edition of Naked Beauty as we talk about her experience of being a Mother. It’s something I feel we don’t talk about enough so I had so many questions and Julee answered them all. We talk:

• Going from life as an athlete to being a Mom. 

• Julee’s experience with first trimester morning sickness, the energy she gained in the second trimester and what it’s like to grow a human being inside of you. 

• A cup size increase can be expected but also, your feet may swell (who knew?)

• Her husband being in the room during labor, the ‘husband stitch’, lactating & how she makes time for herself as a busy working Mom

Ep. 89: Unapologetically Me Ft Julee Wilson, Global Beauty Director of Essence

"I'm a size 16 black woman with natural hair who's big and broad and takes up a lot of space. And I'm unapologetic about it. I'm dope." - my guest, Julee Wilson, Global Beauty Director of Essence

When it comes to beauty, Julee Wilson is all about showing up with authenticity and confidence. Her unique childhood within the Mormon community at home, and within the Quaker community at boarding school, inspired her progressive, open-minded and creative approach to beauty. Wilson continuously advocates for the representation of black women in the beauty industry, all while being a kick-ass mom!
