Session 309: Black Women & The Beauty Industry

<p>The Therapy for Black Girls Podcast is a weekly conversation with Dr. Joy Harden Bradford, a licensed Psychologist in Atlanta, Georgia, about all things mental health, personal development, and all the small decisions we can make to become the best possible versions of ourselves.</p> <p>Whether your beauty routine simply includes sunscreen and a scrunchie or is a bit more complex with lash extensions and lasers, Black women consumers continue to play a major role in the beauty industry. This week I'm excited to discuss Black women’s participation in beauty culture with Host &amp; Beauty &amp; Style Expert, Blake Newby. During our conversation, Blake and I discuss what it means to be a natural beauty in today’s beauty climate, how to vet dermatologists and estheticians for Black skin, and ways to use beauty/self-care practices to empower your mental health.</p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Resources &amp; Announcements</strong></p> <p>Visit our <a href="https://www.amazon.com/shop/therapy4bgirls">Amazon Store</a> for all the books mentioned on the podcast.</p> <p><a href="https://www.sisterhoodheals.com/">Sisterhood Heals </a>is now available for pre-order!</p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Where to Find Blake</strong></p> <p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/blakelawren/">Instagram </a></p> <p><a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@blakenewby_?lang=en">TikTok</a></p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Stay Connected</strong></p> <p>Is there a topic you'd like covered on the podcast?
