This episode begins with my thoughts on this year’s red carpet: the beauty looks that made an impact and the moments I wish had more impact! And yes, we get into Kim Kardashian’s look and the diet conversation that it brought on. I also share why I wore what I wore to the Met Gala after party. Then I am joined by 26-year old photographer Flo Ngala with an *exclusive* interview where she shares her experience shooting inside the gala itself and why it sort of feels like a high school cafeteria, her experience as a Black female photographer, and so much more.

Tune in as she also shares her experience as the daughter of immigrants, her journey to embracing cultural beauty rituals such hair oiling, the magic of saffron, navigating her battle with postpartum shedding and so much more.
