Tune in for a re-run of one my favorite Naked Beauty episodes with none other than Harlem-born, LA-based artist Mandy Harris Williams!

Ep.215: Same Work, Different Coloring Book ft. Desiree Rogers of Fashion Fair

Before there were DE&I initiatives, shade range expansions, and the branding of “Black-owned” beauty, there was Fashion Fair Cosmetics. Launched back in 1973 by Ebony Magazine’s Eunice Johnson, Fashion Fair has always been created by and made for Black women.
