Deconstructing the "Ideal" Black Female ft. Mandy Harris Williams

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. Enjoy!

Products Mentioned: Thayers Witch Hazel Toner, Stridex Daily Pads with Aloe Vera, AMBI Even & Clear Daily Moisturizer, SPF 30, Clinique Pore Mattifying Lotion , NYX Honeydew Me Up Primer
