Y2K Beauty Culture, Miami Heritage, and Navigating A Career in Content Creation ft. Tefi Jul 08, 2024

Show notes

In this rerun of one of my favorite episodes, I sat down with TikTok queen herself, Tefi. Estefania Pessoa AKA Tefi is the best friend, cultural commentator, and skinfluencer we all needed during COVID-19, and if you have yet to come across her name on TikTok you are truly missing out. Tune in as we discuss her takes on both the toxicity and joy of Y2K beauty culture, growing up as a half-Colombian, half-Brazilian girl in Miami, working through unhealthy relationships, establishing a career as an influencer, botox, and so much more. Enjoy!

Country Glamour & Creating Yourself ft. Tanner Adell, Singer & Songwriter Jul 01, 2024

Show notes

“At the top of the list of what you need to know about Tanner Adell is she is glam country, it's definitely a defining feature for me.”

For our second episode together, Sir John and I sat down with someone we feel is truly blazing her own trail and looking incredible doing it: Tanner Adell. This year alone she's walked her first red carpet, presented an award at the CMT’s, and had her first-ever televised performance - not to mention being on a Beyonce album. During our conversation, Tanner talked to Sir John and I about how a foundation of self-possession has poised her to meet these incredible milestones with confidence and grace. Tanner shared that learning to sew her own church clothes, spending time in her grandmother’s craft closet, and honing in on her supporters have shaped her approach to artistry. Thank you to Sunglass Hut and Acast Creative for making this conversation possible!

Tune in as we discuss:

How being raised in a traditional religious environment sharpened her creative skills
Her CMT look and how it nodded to her heritage, tradition, and possibilities for the future
What she believes separates talented and creative artists from one another
Which tools she uses to protect her voice
What her ideal night in Nashville looks and feels like

Beauty from Accra to London ft. Charlotte Mensah, Owner of Hair Lounge Jun 10, 2024

Show notes

Charlotte Mensah, the first Black woman inducted into the British Hairdressing Hall of Fame, once turned her kitchen into a laboratory to develop products for her clients.

Unsurprisingly, she harnessed their wisdom and built an award-winning career in beauty that spans decades. In our conversation, Charlotte talked about her path to opening Hair Lounge, London’s premier afro texture-focused salon since 1999.

Her favorite Ghanian beauty practices and tools
