After spending an incredible seven weeks in Turkey this past summer with Mavi, my husband, and his family, I knew that I had to share my experience with the Naked Beauty community. As a beauty lover, foodie, and Black woman who has married into this culture, Turkey has become like a second home to me and a place that I believe is so often misunderstood.

Charlotte Palermino, CEO of Dieux Skin and self-proclaimed skincare fairy godmother, is here to make you rethink ALL of the beauty rules that we have subscribed to (oftentimes, without question). After jumping on board the clean beauty train in the mid-2000s only to find her skin more irritable than ever, Charlotte realized just how tricky beauty marketing could be. Today as a beauty founder, licensed aesthetician, and “reformed clean beauty buyer,” Charlotte’s approach to the industry is extremely nuanced and a good reminder that this good vs. evil skincare thing is really not serving us as consumers. Tune in for an unforgettable conversation unpacking the myths around daily exfoliation, DIY skincare, beauty regulations, and of course, sunscreen.

Before Sheena Yaitanes decided to pursue her dream and establish her own beauty company, the world of clean makeup was well...lacking. Color schemes were dull and payoff was very weak.

Tune in for a fabulous interview with Sheena in which we discuss the brand’s origin story, her love of creating makeup, and how she is working to build a stigma-free and inclusive work environment.

“I have a story. It’s hard, it’s gnarly but what I’m doing with it - that’s the work.”- Sophia RoeThis week, I’m bringing back one of my favorite episodes with chef and storyteller Sophia Roe! Sophia’s wisdom, humor and excitement for life are all so refreshing and a joy to witness. Her experience growing up with a mother who suffered from substance abuse, learning to love and embrace her brown skin, and ultimately becoming a chef determined to make food more accessible and enjoyable for all is truly remarkable.

“This country insists that our racial identity is beside the point, that it has nothing to do with being bullied, or passed over for promotion, or cut off every time we talk... It’s like being ghosted, I suppose, where, deprived of all social cues, I have no relational gauge for my own behavior. I ransack my mind for what I could have done, could have said...” - Cathy Park Hong in Minor FeelingsLast week’s massage parlor shootings in Atlanta, and the overall rise in anti-Asian rhetoric over this past year is simply unacceptable. The gaslighting and erasure of the AAPI experience is violent. And so on this episode, I sat down with Soko Glam’s Charlotte Cho, Vogue’s Lucie Zhang, and Instagram’s Natalie Chan to unpack all of it. From their experiences growing up in a predominately white society, to being hypersexualized as young Asian women, to being othered within the beauty industry, there’s a lot to talk about and I can’t wait for you to tune in.Links to Products/Resources Mentioned:Resources: Ep.113:Charlotte Cho, Ep.20: Lucie Zhang, PBS: Asian Americans, Asian Americans Advancing Justice, Daniel Dae Kim Speaks to Congress About Anti-Asian HateJoin the Naked Beauty Community on IG: @nakedbeautyplanet Email your beauty questions to [email protected] with the subject line “Beauty Question”Check out nakedbeautypodcast.com for all previous episodes & search episodes by topicRate, Subscribe & Review the Podcast on Apple Thanks for all the love and support.
