EP - 41 - You're not good enough!

Welcome, friends,&nbsp; This week's episode is quite thought-provoking.&nbsp; We're going to discuss Decolonizing Beauty.&nbsp; Is beauty truly in the eyes of the colonizer?&nbsp; You know what my answer to that question is!&nbsp; We also briefly mention how California became the first state to ban discrimination based on one's natural hair.&nbsp; We are in the 21st century, and many countries and states still uphold and maintain white supremacist ideals and beliefs.&nbsp; We need to continually educate, spread awareness and call out such outrageous behaviors to bring about change. As there were so many articles discussing the decolonization of beauty and body ideals, I decided to ease into it and will be revisiting this topic in future episodes.&nbsp; Articles:    I know you want to spread some of that good ol' fashion love!

Beauty Unlocked Bonus Episode: Let's Talk About Sex, Baby!

Welcome, friends! We made it to part deux of our 'normalize natural bodies' series! In this episode, we focus on the Vulva of it all. We start with the surprising history of what most call the vagina.&nbsp; We also demystify Fupas, and we talk about "outie" Vaginas.&nbsp; Is it surprising that many people confuse the Vulva with the Vagina? It's a history lesson merged with an anatomy lesson, so buckle up because it's going to be a wild ride! Articles:    ***I know you want to spread some of that good ole' fashion love!
