Tune in as we discuss her childhood growing up in Vietnam with extremely colorist beauty standards, using skincare as an entry point to her own self-realization and mental health journey, her love for psychedelics, her experience consulting for celebrity skincare brands, her absolute favorite skincare right now and so much more.

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! Back in 2019, we broke down the socio-economic privilege of being “beautiful,” the ways that institutions inform our self-perception, the politicization of Black hair, being ‘uglied’, acne scarring, high heels and so much more. This conversation was and continues to be the intellectual beauty conversation that we all need to hear, and a reminder to reflect on the ways in which we adhere or rebel against today’s beauty norms.
