Ep.130: Hair Genius ft. Celebrity Hair Stylist Nikki Nelms

“If you’re scared, now your hairstyle looks scared” — my guest the one and only Nikki Nelms dropping hair gems on this episode!

If you don’t know celebrity “Hair MacGyver” Nikki Nelms by now, you are in for a treat! Praised for styling the famous locks of Solange, Zoe Kravitz, and Janelle Monae, Nelms has established some of the most popular hair trends over the past decade. With features in every publication from Allure to Vogue, she has left the world in complete awe of just how beautiful black hair can be. Looking back on her journey, such success almost comes at no surprise. For as long as Nelms can remember, there was no plan A, B, or C. There was just hair. Tune in for an incredible discussion on the importance of embracing black beauty culture, working on Don’t Touch My Hair, and so much more.

Ep.129: Fat Icon ft. Kellie Brown

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.

Ep.128: Sometimes Skincare is Rocket Science ft. Desiree Stordahl

As the Senior Research & Education Manager at Paula’s Choice, Desiree Stordahl believes that skincare is nothing without the ingredients that define it. After growing up with a harsh-is-better approach to acne, Storedahl decided to abandon the SeaBreeze pads and take on a more thoughtful approach to beauty. 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. Tune in for an extremely informative discussion on up-and-coming skincare ingredients, hormonal acne, and breaking into the beauty industry!

Ep.127: Black Beauty Experiences Matter

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.

Ep.125: Treating Hyperpigmentation, Protecting Your Skin Barrier, and Leading an Anti-Inflammatory Lifestyle

“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!

Ep.124: Self-Healing Through Nutrition, Cleansing & Mindset ft. Aala Marra

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!

Ep. 123: The Power of Shower Filters, Foods for Your Face, and Treating Your Hair with Compassion ft. Trinity Mouzon of Golde

“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!

Ep.117: Nourishing, Calming, Soothing Skincare ft. Zoë Foster Blake

For Zoë Foster Blake, beauty should never be taken too seriously. Growing up in Australia, skincare and makeup equated to great conversation and community-building. But after years working as a beauty editor at Cosmopolitan and Harper’s BAZAAR, she found herself feeling bogged down by the complicated messaging that the industry had to offer. So in 2014, Blake decided to break out and establish her own brand, Go-To Skincare. With witty copy and clean ingredients, Go-To has clearly filled a much-needed gap within the beauty market. Tune in to hear us discuss the importance of protecting your skin barrier, how to achieve the perfect brow, and so much more!

Ep. 64: Primers, Acids, Into the Gloss & Shaker Heights ft Ashley Weatherford

“I loved beauty without knowing it” - my guest Ashley Weatherford, Senior Editor at Into The Gloss

Ashley has been an authority in beauty for years and I’ve followed her career since the beginning – so I was incredibly excited to have her on and learn her story: from Ohio to Northwestern to NY. Ashley wanted to be a lawyer but started a beauty blog on the side for fun, which eventually landed her a position at New York Magazine. We talk about the power of her recommendations and if she feels guilt about inspiring people to buy more.

We discuss swiping Sephora samples when you love beauty but you’re on a budget, if she feels strongly about products being natural vs synthetic, what it’s like to prepare for a feature on Into the Gloss & that Top Shelf moment, what beauty treatments she thinks are overrated & of course tons of SKINCARE. Ashley has the most amazing skin (says she used to have bad skin) and we go into lots of detail on her routine and the products she loves.

Links to Products/Things Mentioned:

Tatcha Primer - primer of all primers

Cerave - for winter skincare

Little Fires Everywhere - book set in Shaker Heights

Ep.113: The Queen of the 10-Step Korean Skincare Routine ft. Charlotte Cho

I got to sit down with the queen of K-Beauty herself, Charlotte Cho! Growing up in LA, sunscreen and toner seemed to be completely trivial to Cho. But after moving to South Korea post-grad, she was exposed to her own culture through an entirely new lens: skincare. And so upon returning to the States, she decided to start Soko Glam: an online retail shop completely dedicated to K-Beauty. Today, after eight years in the making, Charlotte has not only introduced the concept of the 10-step skincare routine to the American market, but has democratized beauty in such an unpredictable way. Tune in to hear about Charlotte’s favorite ingredients, her new brand - Then I Met You, and so much more!
