One of the coolest girls I know - Grace Bukunmi is a Nigerian Photographer, Stylist, and Art Director working between LA & NYC. She’s worked with everyone: Alicia Keys, The Migos, A$AP Rocky & with the coolest publications: High Snobiety, Hypebeast, etc.We talk about her growing up in a religious household & how her spirituality has evolved and how religion is perceived in her LA creative circle.I ask her if she think natural beauty will become a thing of the past & we try to decode deja vu.I also talk to Grace about surviving a car crash (caused by sleep deprivation!) and how it forced her to re-evaluate her commitment to her work vs her health, and the relationships around her. We get into lash extensions, gel manicures & the joys of natural products like handmade soap-------Things/Products Mentioned:Afro Punk (one day I’ll go): https://www.instagram.com/afropunk/Cleremont Twins (in case you’re not familiar): http://www.papermag.com/clermont-twins-mont-budoir-yeezy-2531618962.htmlThe Twilight Zone Episode on Beauty ‘Eye of the Beholder’: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MFhKp-xi2DY (an amazing 20-minute episode, very worth watching)Trypophobia is an aversion to the sight of irregular patterns or clusters of small holes, or bumps - a weird thing me, my brother & my Mom all suffer from.
