Show notes

Welcome to my last episode of the year, beautiful people! I know this may be disappointing for some of you but your girl needs to fill her cup. Throughout these first two seasons, I've talked to countless women about the power of the pause but if I'm honest, I haven't taken one for myself and it's time. I don't have an exact return date but when I do come back to the mic the timing will be divine, so I thank you all for listening, for sharing, and being a part of this community of Black women founders, creators, and innovators. This week on the She Did That. Podcast, I'm in conversation with Andrea Lewis. You may know her from her acting roles in Degassi: The Next Generation or Black Actress but today, I'm talking to the Ontario, Canada native about her latest role as the creator and executive producer of The Black Beauty Effect. The three-part, first-of-its kind docuseries examines the Black women who are serving as catalysts for social change within the beauty industry and premieres exclusively on Black Experience on Xfinity this week on November 25th.

I'm so excited to share a really beautiful conversation I had recently with Antoinette and Shanti of Around the Way Curls. There's so much to love about these women. You may know them from their blogging and YouTube days, or you may have discovered them over the past few years with their podcast, but whatever your introduction to them has been, there's absolutely no denying their deep love and admiration for each other. In this age of cancel culture, it's really dope to see two friends who've committed to growing with each other in such a sweet way. Listen in as we dive deep into Around the Way Curls, a show that is rooted in friendship and self-actualization. A show that honors the profound and the profane. A show that reminds us that duality is a thing.
