International Women’s Day | The Iranian Women’s Rights Movement with Yasmine Aker

Fri, 08 Mar 2024 16:41:00 -0000

Today I am sharing what is easily my favorite conversation, with the incredible activist, actress, and singer, Yasmine Aker. I have been following the uprising and protests in Iran since the murder of Mahasa Amini a little over a month prior to the airing of this episode. The Iranian women, youth, and LGBTQ+ community are risking their lives for a chance at the liberties and freedoms that we have today. The freedoms these courageous people are fighting for are similar in many ways to the freedoms currently attempting to be stripped from Americans.

To help amplify the voices of these incredibly brave women and because this is not either of our cultures, we are here to support Yasmine’s voice and the story of the Iranian Women’s Rights Movement that is happening right now.

To learn more about Yasmine, please visit her Instagram page @iamyasmi

Here are some accounts on Instagram, people can follow and amplify:

Due to Sanctions its not possible to send any funds to Iran, but here are some fundraisers working for progress in Iran:

This is the GoFundMe fundraiser seeking to accelerate and prolong global visibility and coverage through billboards/mainstream media outlets: www.gofundme.com/f/FreeIranCallForMedia

People can also donate to the Tor Project to help restore the internet in Iran: www.torproject.org

People can share their VPN with Snowflake -- https://snowflake.torproject.org/ or Tooseh app www.tooseh.org

BYSR: Antioxidants, Ascorbic Acid & Vitamin C

Fri, 11 Aug 2023 12:07:00 -0000

Hey Beauty baddies! We officially made it to our J-Lo/Selena Cross over episode, in the Build Your Skincare Routine: Vitamins & Supplements series, where we cross over from speaking about ingesting our vitamins and supplements, to using them topically–ie in our skincare!

One of the reasons today’s topic, all about Antioxidants, Vitamin C, and Acorbic Acid is my favorite way to cross-over speaking about talking supplements and vitamins orally AND applying them topically is because ingesting Vitamin C, and applying Vitamin C topically each offer different benefits!

The products mentioned in today’s show are:

LivOn Labs encapsulated Vitamin C

PCA Facial Wash

PCA Skin C & E Advanced

BYSR: Vitamins & Supplements pt.2 The Omegas

Fri, 02 Jun 2023 09:00:00 -0000

Beauty Baddies, today’s episode is all about one of my absolute favorite topics. I love vitamins and supplements, along with nutrition, they are the unsung heroes of the beauty industry.

This is a multi-part episode and today we are taking a deeper dive into the science behind supplementation and nutrition, honing in on The Essential Nutrients, specifically alpha-Linolenic (LNA) aka omega-3 and Linolenic Acid, (LA) aka omega-6 collectively known as the essential fatty acids.

Because food is the only medicine that the average healthy individual requires on a daily basis, we are going to take a look at some of the research on the direct effects of the consumption of supplementation of various nutrients and their benefits to our skin through this series on vitamins and supplements.

The Iranian Women’s Rights Movement with Yasmine Aker

Fri, 21 Oct 2022 07:01:00 -0000

Today we are sharing what is easily our favorite conversation, with the incredible activist, actress, and singer, Yasmine Aker. We have been following the uprising and protests in Iran since the murder of Mahasa Amini a little over a month prior to the airing of this episode. The Iranian women, youth, and LGBTQ+ community are risking their lives for a chance at the liberties and freedoms that we have today. The freedoms these courageous people are fighting for are similar in many ways to the freedoms currently attempting to be stripped from Americans.

Hands! The forgotten Step Child w/Keesha Clark of Born Noir

Fri, 08 Apr 2022 14:05:41 -0000

Hey beauty baddies! We have been talking about aging recently, and some of the factors that can give away your age without you knowing–I’m calling these the black sheep of aging. The places we don’t think of first when it comes to aging like a fine wine namely your hands. We also have a guest on to speak with us about nails and nail art. In our conversation with today’s guest, Keesha Clark, the owner of Born Noir, we look at nail care through a socio-historical lens.

Keesha is the owner of Born Noir (meaning Born Black), which is her response to the pervasive, worldwide issue of anti-Blackness and amplification of her voice encouraging self-care and self-love for ALL. They believe self-care and nail care are genderless and necessary and she intends to create safe spaces and healing venues for BIPOC, LGBTQ+ folx, and allies.

How to Be Powerful in The Beauty Community: Step Up Your Responsibility to Be More Than Cute, Quiet, and Agreeable with Emmy Award-Winning Makeup Artist, Andrew Sotomayor

Fri, 05 Feb 2021 05:00:00 -0000

Hey dudes! I can't say enough about this week's conversation with the incredible, Emmy winning makeup artist, the founder of Oracle Jayne Station, and the host of "Masters of Makeup", Andrew Sotomayor. Andrew won his first Emmy for Saturday Night Live in 2017, was nominated for an Emmy for Jesus Christ Superstar Live in 2018, and nominated again for Ryan Murphy's "Pose" in 2019. He is the makeup department head for The Other Two on HBO Max, and John Mulaney and the Sack Lunch Bunch on Netflix. He's the makeup and tattoo designer for "West Side Story" on Broadway, has worked 22 seasons of New York Fashion Week, and made up dozens of celebrities including Grammy-winning singers, three daughters of two US presidents, one presidential candidate, one knight, one dame, some of the most powerful female executives in business, and eight Academy Award-winning actors. WHEW! We haven't even gotten to how incredibly profound and thoughtful he is, or how dedicated to community-building within the LGBTQ+ and historically marginalized communities, the people who make up many of us working in the beauty industry. I absolutely adored this conversation, because it is the exact kind of open dialog that we were hoping to have and be able to share with our listeners when Alix and I first launched the pod.

Beauty School no 12 How To Look Young(er) Forever: Brows!

Fri, 29 Jan 2021 16:00:00 -0000

Hey dudes! Today we are talking about BROWS!! You're welcome in advance--if not today, you in 5 years will be thanking us, knowing we saved your face during The Great Quarantine. Brow services have quickly become our most booked appointment at True Beauty Brooklyn, and it’s because we are brow obsessed. We do a dance (seriously!) , or sing a terrible off-key song about how you are now a brow goddess (Seriously!) when we finish your service, you look in the mirror for the first time, and we all know that you’ve never looked so good. After working on hundreds of faces, and speaking with so many women about their brow journey’s, Alix and I realized that there are certain terrible moments that we have all experienced on our brow journeys. And since we are almost a year into the pandemic, and it doesn’t seem like we’re going anywhere anytime soon, we figured now is as good a time as any to try to teach you about brows audibly. And the best way to do that is by sharing our hilarious stories with you, hoping you’ll send some of yours to us, and in the meantime, we can try to help you out so you can stop hating yourself on all of your zoom meetings.

How A Small Business Can Impact a Neighborhood and Influence Its Culture with Cindy Wheeler of Beacon’s Closet

Fri, 22 Jan 2021 15:00:00 -0000

Hey guys! With the Pandemic still in full swing, and small businesses all across the country struggling to stay afloat, we wanted to spotlight how important Main Street, Mom and Pop small businesses are to our communities. If you have lived in Brooklyn for more than 6 months, you no doubt have heard of the store, Beacon’s Closet--the landmark for Brooklyn “cool-kid” thrifting consigning, and vintage shopping. While it wasn’t one of the first stores ever to open in Williamsburg (after all, neighborhoods existed before we all moved over the bridge) back in the 90s when the neighborhood was still largely industrial and people from Manhattan asked, ‘who goes to Brookyln??’ , Beacon’s was certainly one of the first of the new wave of young artists and stores arriving to change the landscape into the Williamsburg that we know today. They are consistently listed as one of the top 10 stores in NYC and have received much love from local, and international press, including features in Vanity Fair, Time Out NY, Gothamist, Racked, Paper Magazine, Lucky, The Village Voice, New York Times, Italian Vogue, French Vogue, New York Magazine, and The Wall Street Journal. We talk to one of the owners, Cindy Wheeler about growing up in a cult, rejecting the government and religion, finding music, moving to New York, and what it means to help shape a neighborhood and a generation of community members. Dudes! This was a great episode and we know you're going to love it! To learn more about Beacon’s Closet visit beaconscloset.com/ or check out their Instagram @beaconscloset Check out our Instagram @truebeautybrooklyn or @truebeautybrooklynpodcast. Visit us at www.truebeautybrooklynpodcast.com to learn more about us, and all of our incredible guests! If you live locally, make an appointment and come check us out at www.truebeautybrooklyn.com.

Sydney works with her parents, Kenny and Meris, who are each consistent members of The Corcoran Groups Top 25 Brokers with over $100 million dollars in rentals and sales each year. It's worth mentioning that her mom is lauded as one of the nicest brokers in New York City--a bad ass for sure! Sydney talks to us about how people our age can afford to buy in the city, ways to save your coins for a down payment, and how to make your current home a little more live-able, even if you can't afford to move right now. You guys, this is a fun conversation and an important one for those of us that ever want to take the leap into NYC adulthood and try to afford something in this always expensive city. As Fran Lebowitz says, nobody can afford to live in New York City, we all just figure out a way to do it.

How to Leap Off Of A Glass Cliff to Found, And Become An Acquired, Venture-Backed, AI-Driven, Tech Company: with Hannah Donovan

Fri, 18 Dec 2020 06:00:00 -0000

Hi Friends! Today we are speaking with Hannah Donovan, formally the CEO and co-founder of TRASH app. TRASH app is a machine learning-based video editing toolkit, where users can quickly create and edit high-quality, short-form video, and the company was just acquired by VSCO! Considering the world's biggest tech companies are currently under fire from, well, everyone, we wanted to bring onto the show our incredibly smart, innovative, and brilliant friend. Full disclosure, Trash App was acquired the week we recorded this show, so it was a really cool and fun surprise to hear about it while recording! Another reason that we were so excited to speak with Han is because of the following set of data that we keep seeing over and over again: less than 3% of all venture capital goes to female founders, and of those companies, only 26% become acquired within 10 years. Our girl Han did both in 3! Hannah is clearly a visionary and has so much grit and determination. You guys are going to love listening to her journey!

How To Find Yourself By Building Community, and Healing Trauma in Border-Communities with Acupuncturist and Humanitarian Jacqueline Arellano

Fri, 11 Dec 2020 06:00:00 -0000

Today we’re speaking with an incredible woman, humanitarian, and Acupuncturist Jacqueline Arellano. She is a badass who Alix met via a beauty forum a few years ago, and we have been dying to speak with her this season! Jacqueline is a lifelong humanitarian who grew up in California within communities that border Mexico. As the child of Mexican immigrants, Jacqueline was raised with these communities being an extension of her own, always looking to help Americans who endure the dangerous and long journey through the desert, escaping the horrors and unlivable conditions from which they fled in the hopes of having a chance at life. (As an aside, I have many Latinx friends who constantly remind me that the United States is not the only country on the American Continent and that technically, we are all American. Amen!) Today Jacqueline donates her Acupuncture services to the non-profit Border Kindness, whose mission is to provide asylum-seekers, migrants, refugees, and the displaced with comprehensive services that include food, shelter, clothing, medical care, and legal services. She also leaves food, water, and supplies in the desert for people still in the middle of their journey. This interview was incredibly eye-opening for both Alix and I, and we think it will be for you too! You can donate to Border Kindness using: Paypal (please specify Border Kindness) Venmo to @Border-Kindness Zelle to info@borderkindness.org Cash App to $borderkindness GoFundMe Click this link to purchase Christmas gifts from the Border Kindness Holiday Shopping List, and donate a toy to a vulnerable child on the border Check out Jacqueline and give her some love on Instagram via @borderkindness or her personal page @agua.agujas .

VOTE! with NYS Assemblywoman- Elect, Emily Gallagher: How to Find Your Voice, Become a Leader, and Make History (by Defeating a 40-year, 3rd generation incumbent in the New York State Assembly)

Sun, 18 Oct 2020 01:00:00 -0000

Hi friends! We are so excited to share this week’s interview with you! This week we are speaking to Assembly Member Elect for the 50th district of NYC, Emily Gallagher. Emily won her race with no endorsements from elected officials, no support from the larger leftist groups, and relatively little money compared to her opponent, a 47-year incumbent State Assemblymember who had not even faced a primary challenge for a decade. A long-time Brooklyn activist, resident, and community organizer, Gallagher ran on a platform that includes passing a New York Homes Guarantee (a slate of legislation pushed by activist organization Housing Justice for All that includes universal rent control), decriminalization of drugs and sex work, increasing the funding and power of the Department of Environmental Conservation, and support for defunding the NYPD. If you are under the impression that your vote doesn’t matter, and that you have no control over what happens within the government, this episode is especially for you! You will see how an incredible, hardworking, ambitious, driven, and courageous woman found her voice, used it to amplify the voices of her community, and then worked her ASS OFF to--against all odds-- win a coveted seat in our New York State Assembly. Your vote matters, and your voice matters. Even if we can’t control what is happening nationally, you better bet we CAN control what happens within our communities when you find those who are as passionate as you are to build a better future. To learn more about Emily Gallagher, please check her out at emilyforassembly.com , on Twitter and Instagram @em4assembly. Check out our Instagram @truebeautybrooklyn or @truebeautybrooklynpodcast. Visit us at www.truebeautybrooklynpodcast.com to learn more about us, and all of our incredible guests! If you live locally, make an appointment and come check us out at www.truebeautybrooklyn.com.

This episode features new music by friend-of-the-pod Bentley Robles (check out his episode with us to learn more about him). His new single Cardiac was just released this past Wednesday, October 14th, and is now streaming on Spotify and Apple Music. We are obsessed and want y9ou to be too!

How to Pioneer an Industry, Amplify Voices, and (almost) Win a Peabody Award with the co-founder of Pineapple Street Media, Jenna Weiss-Berman

Sat, 10 Oct 2020 16:00:00 -0000

This week's show is super special to us because it is a personal podcast full-circle moment. If Marc Maron is considered the Father of podcasting, this week’s guest, Jenna Weiss-Berman is considered the Auntie. Prior to co-founding her groundbreaking podcast network, Pineapple Street Media, Jenna was working in public radio on shows like The Moth. She then joined Buzzfeed to help build out their entire podcast program from the ground up while producing incredible shows such as my all-time favorite podcast, Another Round. After building Buzzfeed’s wildly successful and popular podcast arm, and seeing that many major players--such as Lena Dunham, The New York Times, The Hillary Clinton Presidential Campaign, HBO, Netflix, and ESPN--all wanted to create podcasts but didn’t know how to, Jenna and her co-founder Max Linsky left Buzzfeed to change the history of Podcasting as we know it, and launch Pineapple Street Media. Today, Pineapple Street Media produces inventive, award-winning original podcasts: multi-episode narratives, investigative journalism, branded series, and talk shows. Oh! And they have been nominated for two Peabody Awards. Not too bad for a woman who, in her own words, was tired of making audio programs for only white people. This episode shows how the world of podcasting connects us all and makes the world seem a little bit smaller. This is a REALLY fun show and was super meaningful to us! We got a chance to interview a woman who didn’t even know how much she meant to us--and now we can call her our friend! To learn more about Jenna and Pineapple Street Media, please check out http://pineapple.fm/, or open your podcasting app and search Pineapple Street Media, you’ll find all of their shows! You can also follow them on Instagram @pineapple.fm. Check out our Instagram @truebeautybrooklyn or @truebeautybrooklynpodcast.

Beauty School no 6: How To Be a Bad B**ch (The Gadooey Episode)

Sat, 03 Oct 2020 18:00:00 -0000

Hey guys! This week, Alix and I had to think on our toes--one of our guests unexpectedly wasn't able to make it to record with us-- so we had to think fast! One tequila cocktail later, we decided to dedicate an entire episode to the body part that works hard, plays hard, does the most for literally the entire human race, and is probably the most controversial of all of our organs: our vaginas! Don't worry, there are SO MANY LAUGHS! We wanted to remove the shame and stigma surrounding our vaginas and talk openly and honestly about how great they are! You'll love this episode, and hopefully learn a thing or two! Check out our Instagram @truebeautybrooklyn or @truebeautybrooklynpodcast .

How To Continuously Reinvent Yourself with the Co-Founder and Product Developer of Hairstory Studio and New Wash: Jackie Bauer

Sun, 30 Aug 2020 04:00:00 -0000

Our guest on the pod this week is the Co-Founder and Product Developer of Hairstory Studio and New Wash: Jackie Bauer. Her company Hairstory, was conceptualized by Jackie after dealing with psoriasis on her scalp for years. On her hunt to figure out what was causing it, and how the hell she could get rid of it, she started to realize that the hair care products she was using, even though they were high end, were possibly the cause of all this irritation. After months of experimentation and testing, a new kind of shampoo was born, New Wash - a NON-shampoo. It’s actually a shampoo and conditioner in one! It cleanses, nourishes, and hydrates all at once. Once she started using this, her scalp felt SO much better. Jackie takes us on her journey from attending a ballet conservatory at 12 years old, her career-ending injury that made her re-evaluate her life and goals, and how she continued to reinvent herself time after time throughout her incredible career in the beauty industry. For example, Jackie tries to casually drop the fact that she helped to produce Vidal Sassoon's 2010 Documentary titled Vidal Sassoon The Movie! I mean, talk about reinventing yourself! To learn more about Jackie, New Wash and Hairstory, check out their Instagram @hairstorystudio, and visit them at www.hairstory.com.

How to follow your intuition, stay true to yourself, and create the life you’ve always dreamed of: with underground Queer Pop Vocalist, Bentley Robles

Sat, 22 Aug 2020 23:00:00 -0000

One of the goals in starting the pod was to bring light to, uplift, and celebrate incredible, goal-driven, and inspiring people. Today’s guest, Bentley Robles is no different, other than the fact that he is our first guest who is a musician. Excuse me, our first guest who is an Iconic Pop Star in the Making. And trust us, he is on his way to the first-name-only territory. Since emerging with his first single in 2019, Bentley Robles has been pushing pop music into bold new territory. Bold, daring, and unapologetically queer, he has become one of the defining voices of the New York underground. Born in Los Angeles, Bentley takes us on his journey as a first-generation Mexican-American, navigating his adolescence as a queer boy with a passion to sing, coming out to his parents, choosing a safe--albeit lucrative and successful--career as a business owner, and throwing it all away to move across the country to Brooklyn. Following his heart and intuition, he is building his true legacy and life long dream of becoming a Pop Musician. Already making waves in the Queer Underground Pop community, his first EP Overdramatic caught the attention of music industry insiders and led to Bentley being included on Spotify's "New from NYC: Pop Playlist.” This was for sure one of our favorite interviews! (sidebar: unfortunately I never mic’d anyone that wasn’t Alix before our interview with Bentley, and I did a terrible job. You will hear some mic pops especially at the beginning of the interview, which sucks, but this episode is so great that it’s worth dealing with it!) To learn more about Bentley, you can click here to check him out on Spotify. Check out his website https://www.bentleyrobles.com/ and of course his Instagram @bentleyrobles.

How to Win The Game of Life Playing By Your Own Rules with Rooshy Roy, co-founder of the Indian Beauty startup AAVRANI

Fri, 14 Aug 2020 04:00:00 -0000

A goal in starting this podcast was to bring to a larger audience, the experience that we have within our beauty community here in Brooklyn. Our beauty community is not one that is either only black or white, but every color of the rainbow in between. As women that navigate easily between cultures, we know that the key to understanding each other is speaking openly and honestly about where we come from and where we are going. Today’s guest Rooshy Roy, co-founder of the beauty startup AAVRANI is a super special guest because she is the first guest who reached out to us to be on the podcast. So we didn’t know much about Rooshy going into this interview but came out learning so much about this incredible female founder, the Indian diaspora, and ways in which it mirrored the Jewish and African diaspora. We also talk about heritage, staying true to yourself, following your dreams, and the importance of being seen in consumer goods. Rooshy is a Warton graduate, she was on Forbes 30 under 30, she’s super compassionate, kind, and funny and we know you’re going to love this episode! To learn more about Rooshy and AAVRANI, check out the website by clicking here and check out their instagram @AAVRANI. Don't forget to follow us @truebeautybrooklyn and @truebeautybrooklynpodcast.

In this episode of Beauty School, we are talking about one of the biggest skin complaints that we hear about, Hyperpigmentation. First off, what the hell is hyperpigmentation? Wellllll, Hyperpigmentation is the deposition of melanin (pigment) due to the stimulation of melanogenesis. And Melanogenesis is the process by which pigment is produced and duplicated in the skin. It is the end result of the immune system triggering an inflammatory response, which then triggers melanocyte activity to protect the skin's DNA from damage and mutation. Sound a little boring?? We do our best to make this a fun episode while teaching you how to treat this super common, and super annoying skin condition! Plus, hear from Elizabeth's mama in our Hey Ladies! segment! Her mom, Chyrise tells us about the time Elizabeth's Dad picked up hitchhiker that turned out to be a murderer! Check us out on Instagram @truebeautybrooklyn and @truebeautybrooklynpodcast.

How to Thrive In a Male-Dominated Industry with Interior Designer, Karen Asprea

Mon, 27 Jul 2020 04:00:00 -0000

A really incredible aspect of our careers as estheticians is that we get to work with cool, hilarious women that we often become friends with. But because our relationship begins as a professional one where we are in our element, we oftentimes don’t get to see them in THEIR element. My favorite part of our podcast Is learning more about our friends and being able to say, “dang you’re bad bitch!”. Today’s interview with our friend, interior designer Karen Asprea is so much fun for that exact reason! Karen specializes in turn-key services for private homes, design for luxury condominium developments, and commercial spaces. She has worked alongside famed architects such as SOM and ODA, and her client list includes the industry’s top development firms that demand the highest level of quality and attention to detail. Not to mention a few celebrities. By age 28, Karen was managing partner and director of interior design at one of New York’s busiest architecture and design firms and lead her team to design and coordinate over five million square feet of new residential development before creating her own design studio, Karen Asprea Studio. Like I said, bad bitch! Sidebar: that this is actually our second time interviewing Karen. During our first interview, we had such an incredible conversation about Robert Moses, social equity, the future of public spaces, and livable art. Unfortunately, THAT interview didn’t record correctly (sorry guys!). However, she was so kind and generous with her time and agreed to spend another hour with us! So this time we chatted about her childhood in Brooklyn, how being a first-generation Italian-American shaped her view of the world, and most importantly the inequities of women and men within male dominated industries – specifically, construction and architecture. Industries in which she is a woman amongst men at the top of her field. Also, Karen is hilarious, so this was SUCH a fun conversation! For more information about Karen, check out her Instagram @karenapreastudio as well as her website karenasprea.com.

How to Create a Passionate Life With Photographer, Artist, Entrepreneur and Native American Activist Tafv Sampson

Fri, 17 Jul 2020 16:00:00 -0000

What drew us to Tafv Sampson, our guest for today, is a 15-minute short film that takes us through 4 generations of her family, in a way that moved us so much that we just knew we wanted to know more about her, her life, and her family’s history. Besides the fact that her mother is a journalist who interviewed serial killer John Wayne Gacy, and besides the fact that her grandfather was Native American actor, activist, and artist Will Sampson--of one flew over the Cuckoos nest-- and besides the fact that her father Tim Sampson was a stunt man, broadway Actor, Native American activist, and artist, Tafv herself is a photographer, an author, an artist, and soon will be adding entrepreneur to her list of credentials--you can see now why we had to know more about her! Tafv takes us on a journey from growing up on the west coast, following her passion for film to New York City, the great loss of her father, and pivoting into her passion for botanical body care. She speaks candidly about how the wellness industry is largely created for and by people that don’t look like her, and what it means to her to build a truly sustainable brand. In this time of the Cultural Revolution, we wanted to take a moment to acknowledge and celebrate the Native People of our land who are oftentimes overlooked, forgotten in history, and widely oppressed. Also, Tafv is such a badass, we had to share her story! Check out Tafv's Instagram @TafvSampson and her website TafvSampson.com. The incredible short, 15-minute film Under Her Skin: Tafv Sampson that she and her family were the subjects of can be found here.

How To Be An Ally in Today’s Cultural Revolution and Beyond with the co-founders of Dearest Creative Conceptual Design Studio, Kori Mastroieni and Kirsten Pincket

Sat, 04 Jul 2020 14:00:00 -0000

Today is the Fourth of July, however, American Independence Day 2020 feels and looks very different this year than it ever has in my lifetime. One of the main reasons is because we are in the middle of one of the largest Cultural Revolutions in American history. As I do more research on Cultural Revolutions from our past, one important factor jumps out at me repeatedly, and that is the need for strong ally’s on all fronts, especially where American Culture is built: media and advertising. In today's screen-obsessed world, it is only with the normalization of seeing black, brown, beige, and multicultural faces together as you scroll through your devices that the movement can be pushed forward. Thus far in The True Beauty Brooklyn Podcast, we’ve shared the entrepreneurial journey of the people building brands, however, we would be remiss to overlook the fact that an incredible product is only as good as it’s branding, marketing, and advertising. I mean, this is America, and there are A LOT of products out there. How do you differentiate yourself from the pact? How does one tell the incredible story behind a product through the packaging, branding, the colors, the website, and the language used throughout everything that is seen by the end consumer before they even try the product? Today’s guests, Kirsten Pincket and Kori Mastroieni, the co-founders of the conceptually driven design studio, Dearest Creative are responsible for that magic. While it's true that visual storytelling is the key to a brands success in today’s society, the minds that are largely responsible for creating these stories are also those responsible for diversity showing up--or as they’ll share with us, not showing up--in all of the content marketing of the world. In the time of cringe-worthy corporate solidarity emails, we felt it necessary to show what true Ally-ship looks like. If you look through Dearest Creative's website or Instagram page, you'll find that there are very few words. Yet their visual story tells you that these women are here to reflect back to the world what they know it looks like: all of us. Today’s episode is dedicated to Breonna Taylor. Breonna could have been any one of us four girls chatting and laughing today. It is important to remember that she was no different than any of us. She was just perceived to be different due to her melanin-rich skin. All great Cultural Movements need people who don't look like the oppressed to elevate and amplify their voices. To learn more about Dearest Creative you can visit their website https://dearestcreative.co/ or check them out on Instagram @dearestcreative. If you like the show, don’t be stingy, share it with your friends! Also, it’s ok to leave a 5-star review. We won’t mind.

How To Revolutionize A Beauty Staple, Story-Tell Through Design, and Save The Planet, with Karen Young: Founder of Oui The People Safety Razor & Body Care Company

Sat, 27 Jun 2020 04:00:00 -0000

Yall, we're VERY proud that two of our guests from this past month were both featured on Beyonce x Black Owned Everything's Black Parade: A Curated Directory of Black Owned Businesses: owned by today's guest, Karen Young, and (Ep. | 10 Celebrity Makeup Artist and the Founder of her namesake brand Lauren Napier Beauty: How to Pivot Careers And Build Your Extraordinary Life). When I saw Karen post the screen shot of Beyonce's website--BEYONCE written in huge black block letters, right above the image of my absolute favorite beauty product, the rose gold safety razor by Oui The People--on Instagram, I screamed out in joy as if it was my own company! As if today's incredible interview with Karen Young, the founder of the skincare company, Oui The People wasn't proof enough, our girl Yonce (and every other major beauty and fashion magazine) co-signed on her dopeness. Shaving is a part of the cultural zeitgeist that until recently has been taken as-is, for the past 100 years. I’m sure that you have all heard of Dollar Shave Club, and Harry’s--companies that disrupted the shaving industry by lowering the prices of plastic razors for men. Oui The People Lauren Napier Beauty But have you ever imagined another shaving option for women? Today’s guest is the founder of the company Oui the People, and she did think about this. As a creative and designer at heart, after spending years in luxury fashion and beauty, Karen Young was ready to create a product for women--a safety razor--that told their story, and gave them a truly luxurious experience, all while saving the planet. I have mentioned the company Oui the People (formally named Oui Shave) on this podcast in the past, and it’s because their safety razor is a product that I truly love. Before I met Karen, I felt all of these emotions regarding what is seemingly a simple razor. It is no wonder that the creator behind it is a brilliant entrepreneur blessed with the gift of storytelling that is so vivid, the story becomes a physical product.

How To Change Our Future and Organize Our Communities: VOTE with Brooklyn Democratic Community Organizer and Local Activist Michele Kaufman

Sat, 20 Jun 2020 18:00:00 -0000

Happy Juneteenth, Friends! On the heels of the first official New York State recognition of this holiday recognizing and celebrating the emancipation of slavery is the 2020 New York Primary Election on June 23. Although I hope you’re all dancing at your BBQs and cookouts over the weekend, there is still work to be done in The Revolution! This week we invited our friend and activist Michele Kaufman on to the show to talk to us about the different positions that are up for our local election, and how they shape the legislation that we want reform on. Michele is a North Brooklyn local activist and democratic community organizer, our local political expert, neighbor, and friend of the show. It’s worth mentioning that even if you catch this episode after June 23, there is tons of information about political seats and positions that you might not know exist, why you NEED to know about them, and how you can be a part of your local political process. As Michele teaches us, if we don’t take care of things on the local level, we can never expect to take care of them on the national level. I know that we are all tired, and stressed, and anxious! I know you have all been marching, and yelling, and picking up the phone! Thank you! The fight for change is just beginning, and we need all hands on deck! Today’s True Beauty Brooklyn Podcast episode is dense with information about our democratic political system because it’s important to know all of the different levels of participation that it takes to truly create long-lasting change both within our immediate communities and on the national level.

How to Pivot Careers And Build Your Extraordinary Life with Celebrity Makeup Artist and the Founder of her namesake brand Lauren Napier Beauty

Thu, 04 Jun 2020 03:00:00 -0000

This past week has been very emotional, to say the least, and hopeful to say the most. I once heard Ruth Bader Ginsberg express that the pendulum of change always swings both ways. My friends, I believe that we are on the ascent of that change. In continuing our mission to share the stories of incredible, diverse, resilient, and inspiring women, we are proud to share the story of today's guest with you. Our guest today is celebrity makeup artist and the founder of Lauren Napier Beauty, Lauren Napier. Lauren has worked with some of the world's most famous celebrities, including Academy Award winners, civil rights activists, Olympic gold medalists, indie film darlings, Billboard chart-toppers, silver screen royalty, a Beatle, a Bond and even an American president. Let me play out a scenario that I’m sure has happened to you before: You’re going through your day, as usual, using the same mediocre everyday product that has always left you wanting more. Because you have never found another option, you continue to use it all the while wondering why there still isn’t a better option. Like most great entrepreneurship journey’s, Lauren Napier’s started with this exact breaking point. On a 13 hour flight from Dubai to New York, Lauren was horrified to see an expensive bag of makeup wipes completely dried out. These days Lauren Napier Beauty has been featured in Vogue, Elle, W Magazine, Harper's Bazaar, Essence, InStyle, Pop Sugar, Refinery 29. It can be found internationally online in stores such as Revolve, Harvey Nichols, Net-A-Porter, and Colette Paris. You guys, this girl, and her incredible products are everywhere. I hesitate to use the adjective fearless to describe any person because everybody has fears. But when you speak with Lauren, the woman has so much determination, conviction, grace, and grit, that it’s easy to assume fear does not exist within her. Please visit LaurenNapier.com to purchase all of Lauren Napier Beauty products, visit @laurennapierbeauty on Instagram.

Beauty School no 1 : What the F*ck A Proper Skincare Routine Is And Why You Need One

Sat, 23 May 2020 17:00:00 -0000

We're back babes! Ok, so this show really isn't divided into seasons, but we might be one of the only Podcasts that begin right on the cusp of COVID19, so we had to do some rethinking, and retooling. With so much unknown, the threat of the worst economic depression since The Great Depression, and no signs of a vaccine for many more months to come, the post COVID world is going to look very different than what we are used to. BUT WE’VE GOT YOU! Alix and I realize that some of you might not be able to get your monthly facials or brows, but that doesn’t mean that you should suffer alone! Our goal moving forward with the True Beauty Brooklyn Podcast is to be your virtual estheticians so we can keep you gorgeous and bomb through whatever budget you may have, just in case we can’t see each other IRL for awhile. So while we will move forward and continue to bring you stories and journeys from incredible women as well as fun segments, we want to focus more on educating you on the things that we are experts in, and answering your beauty questions. This way we know that our girls are still moving through the world feeling incredible, armed with the right knowledge and products, while being apart of a community of women that get you.

Cassi Lopez : Celebrity Body Piercer, Owner of So Gold Studios and 8x Brain Surgery Survivor

Wed, 06 May 2020 18:00:00 -0000

The story that we are sharing today is so special to me, not only because it’s from the woman who inspired me to begin this podcasting journey, but because her’s is a story that every person listening today needs to hear. The first time I interviewed our guest was back in November, but her story is so inspiring and relevant to today’s health crisis, that I asked her if we could re-record and include the current crisis in our conversation. Cassi Lopez is the owner of So Gold Studio, she is arguably the best body piercer in New York City, and she is a warrior. Cassi has been featured in The Coveteur, Refinery29, Nylon, Elite Daily, Allure, Cosmopolitan, Insider, Elle Australia, and The Daily Mail, and her client list includes A-listers such as Game of Thrones actor, Nathalie Emmanuel. But most importantly, Cassi is an 8-time brain surgery survivor. And she is still with us today because she continuously and relentlessly advocated for herself when doctor after doctor sent her home, some even insinuating that she was mentally unstable, all dismissing the fluid that was leaking out of her nose as mucus. She would later learn that it was in fact fluid from her brain leaking out of her nose. Cassi never gave up on herself because she knew herself, and she knew her body, and she knew that something wasn’t right. So she continued advocating for herself until one Independence Day she went to an Urgent Care Walk-In Center and met the Doctor (a woman) who immediately recognized her symptoms, and ultimately saved her life. Now more than ever, living in our Global Community we can see that life isn’t always kind to us all, nor is it fair. But strength comes from adversity, and humans are drawn to those whose stories show the incredibly resilient nature of the human spirit to not only survive but also to thrive. Cassi is certainly one of these angels. After meeting her for the first time over coffee, it became clear to me that hers is a story that holds the secret to life: you have to be your own advocate. This story is intense and can be triggering for some people, as we describe some graphic details about a serious health condition and surgery that Cassi has gone through. For more information about Cassi and So Gold Studios please visit https://sogoldstudios.com/ and be sure to check out her Instagram pages @sogoldbk and @cassisoclassy.

COVID MINI: What else can you bleach besides a mustache? With Guest, Founder of Framed Florals Lacie Porta

Tue, 28 Apr 2020 16:00:00 -0000

Welcome to our first COVID Minisode! Since things changed so much so quickly, Alix and I had to brainstorm how to continue the podcast going. We considered things such as what kind of guests to bring in, what we should talk about, and how to stay true to our initial plan of keeping things light and fun, despite the seriousness of our world right now. So we thought to just reach out to our group of friends, that just happen to be New York City’s best and brightest 30somethings, and ask if they wanted to jump on a call with us to shoot the shit, and talk to the world about how they are handling quarantine, how it’s affected their lives, what things if any they’re doing for beauty treatments. We can also lend our expertise and try to help you from making terrible brow and skincare decisions while you’re at home with nothing to do, and lots of time to obsess, pick, and tweeze. Today we’re joined with a guest, friend of the podcast (and Alix's best friend!) Lacie Porta. Lacie is an incredible entrepreneur, a mom to a cute little 4.5-pound poodle, and her husband is an FDNY firefighter. Lacie's company Framed Florals has been featured in publications such as Vogue, Soetheby’s Home, Bridal Musings, Domino, Buzzfeed, and it seems every Bridal publication out there. She also spoke as a Panelist at Mastercard’s Create and Cultivate Small Business Summit in 2019. Lacie talks to us about how quarantine has been affecting her business, what she's doing to stay sane, and what it's like to be the wife of an FDNY firefighter working in the epicenter of the US Coronavirus Pandemic. Don't worry, we lighten the mood with a few segments, listener voicemails, and listener letters!

In our interview Chantell speaks to us about the craft of making a wig, the dedication behind the artistry, and her joy of giving back to the community. She’s an educator as well as practitioner, and speaks on the importance of teaching women of color her craft. As mentioned she worked on John Washington’s wig for KKKlansman, but she also taught the Hair Department Head for the film the art of wig making. Chantell shares how to apprenticed with the best of the best, including working at the diPietro Todd Salon in San Francisco, as well as learning from Master wigmaker to the stars, Joseph Paris--back in the day he made wigs for Elvis Presley! Each of her hair pieces is a one of a kind, masterful work of art. But Before all of that, she was a girl growing up in the Bay area, keeping her hands busy at 16 years old, painting her parents house. Like, their entire house.

Thu, 16 Apr 2020 04:00:00 -0000

I’m actually so excited to come back from our hiatus to this episode of The True Beauty Brooklyn Podcast. As Alix and I listened to this interview in preparing to record, we realized that there are things that our incredible guest, Andre Springer recalls that are so striking, and a little haunting considering the timing of the COVID-19 crisis. Andre is the artist behind what we consider the personification of your favorite Auntie, Shaquanda, and the co-founder of the consumer goods company, Shaquanda’s Hot Pepper Sauce. You guys will see what we mean, in that Andre first really started working on his Drag character, Shaquanda during the first financial crisis of our millennial lives, back in 2008. As we listened to this episode, we remembered what it was like during the first times of uncertainty in our adult lives, and how it forced creativity in our generation. The loving, endearing, funny, and beautiful drag character Shaquanda was first created by Andre back in the early 2000’s. As you’ll hear, she was resurrected after the Great Recession when he returned to New York from California and began working in restaurants and nightlife. At the time there weren’t many jobs available, especially within the creative and luxury industries that he had always worked in. When he met his first drag mentor, Linda Simpson host of Gay Jeopardy, a spark was ignited. He was inspired to focus, fusing his creativity, his incredibly friendly and loving personality, the pride of his heritage with the love of his City, and hone his artistic, and design skills. The result is not only a character for the stage, but a consumer goods product to line the shelves of our grocery stores. The logo of brand includes the image of a beautiful, gender-fluid, brown drag queen, sporting the friendliest wide-mouthed smile that you can’t help but smile back at. In our episode Andre is brilliant enough to speak on the importance of equity and equality, (can I get an amen?), the importance of kindness, empathy and of course, representation. You might be thinking, why does representation matter? Off the top of your head, name an American food brand character. HINT: it’s not good when you can name 7 make-believe creatures, and talking animals before you can name a person of color on a food box. I hope that his story is what some of you need to hear today! I think we can all take the message that Andre’s story tells to heart. Now more than ever, we all need to believe in ourselves 100%, even if we don’t know what the road ahead looks like. Just like Andre!

How To Build a Mission-Based Multi-Million Dollar Body Care Company with Fur Oil co-founders Laura Schubert and Lillian Tung

Fri, 27 Mar 2020 07:00:00 -0000

Today we are sitting down with the co-founders of Fur, Laura Schubert, and Lillian Tung. Fur is a company that the two founded in 2016 when they saw a grey area in the body care category. At the time, there were no intimate hygiene products that were beautiful to look at, smelled great, were all-natural, and actually worked to eliminate ingrown hairs that can come with hair removal. Fur Oil, their first product was groundbreaking in that it elevated intimate personal hygiene products by creating an entirely new product category within the body care industry. This line of beautiful products is made specifically for anywhere that skin meets hair. Childhood best friends, the girls met in middle school in their hometown of New York City. They were co-captains of the cheerleading team before attending Harvard for their Undergraduate degree, and then Columbia for their Masters. I know, total underachievers, right? You’ll hear how these two incredible women left their corporate careers to be all- in on this crazy dream of creating a new product category of high end, beautifully crafted, all-natural, cruelty-free, performance-driven, intimate personal care products. The girls are killing it, singlehandedly growing their business into multiple millions of dollars. The company is female-owned, founded and driven, and the girls are so fucking cool, smart, and kind. Do you want to know what it’s like to be an industry pioneer? Try having people hang up on you when you say the words “pubic hair oil”, redialing, and with a smile saying, “I’m sorry! We must have been disconnected! As I was saying, I’m creating a pubic hair oil...” over, and over, and over again. It’s called conviction. And we’re going to learn all about what it takes to build a truly unique brand, how to follow your conviction when people are telling you you’re crazy, and what it’s like to have a lifelong co-founder that just happens to be your best friend.

What's the point of wearing eyeliner when you're wearing pajamas to school?

Mon, 16 Mar 2020 04:00:00 -0000

Welcome to the True Beauty Brooklyn Podcast! Hosted by two old Millenials, Elizabeth Taylor and Alix Shapiro our goal for the TBBP is to create a platform that conveys the narratives lived within our Brooklyn New York neighborhoods, communities, and friends. Our community is made up of diverse, inclusive, socially conscious, funny, empowering, inspiring, smart, hardworking, and driven women and men, however, we don’t see ourselves, or our friends broadly reflected in today’s media landscape. We figured we would be fools if we didn’t at least try to give voices to us! Inspired by what we have seen in the sports news/commentary industry, we believe that in creating a beauty podcast that includes the audience's participation, shares in-depth interviews with women (and some men) who live truly inspiring lives and hosted by two licensed and working beauty professionals of different ethnicities (Elizabeth is black, Alix is Jewish), we can create a truly diverse community. Want to help desegregate an industry that for the past 400 years has been segregated by ethnicity, race, age, and gender? Take a listen, and write us an email to with YOUR questions, comments, or segment submissions, and let's disrupt this $800B industry, one episode at a time. 1. Milk? With your Dinner?!
