Ep.143: Hollywood, Beauty Standards & Unconventional Routines ft. Actress and Podcast Host Bianca Sia
When people ask me about my favorite podcasts, How Neal Feel almost immediately comes to mind. No, it has nothing to do with beauty or fashion, but that’s not the point. See, what makes this show so special is the dynamic between co-hosts comedian Neal Brennan and actress Bianca Sia. Which is exactly why this episode with Bianca was a dream come true! Not only did we dive into her experience on the show, but we addressed the challenges she has faced working in an industry that tends to include the word “beautiful” in the job description. Tune in for a hilarious and vast discussion on her Persian and Panamanian roots, getting ready for the Oscars, handling rejection, and so much more!

Ep.136: Trans Women Are Women Ft Angelica Torres
“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.

Ep.134: #EuphoriaMakeup & Moonlight ft. Makeup Artist Donni Davy
“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!

Ep.132: Infiltrating the Fashion Industry ft. Naomi Elizée Associate Market Editor at Vogue
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.

Ep.131: Radical Self Love ft. Kirby @singkirbysing
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.
