In the wake of countless assault charges facing women in entertainment, the message of self-worth that Alex and Isis(of Wondaland's St. Beauty)brought to this interview came right on time!We go beyond what you see on their perfect Instagram account (it’s instagram.com/stbeautyband btw and yes, it’s amazing)and speak about their wider mission to heal and inspire through their music. We talk about their style icons, how they found themselves at Issa Rae’s house party hanging out with the cast of Insecure, Atlanta, and Samuel Jackson (so surreal)and futile attempts to style the already perfectly stylish(like jidenna).We talk natural hair politics, big chop emotions, glue-ins from high school, bad dye jobs, 70s style, cultural appropriation, and their tips on how to perfect your style (like using natural landscapes as inspiration for color palettes). We end the interview by talking about their experience learning from Janelle Monae and hear from their manager, Joy Young, about how to make it as a woman in the industry without compromising your values.Products Mentioned AlexCurls shampoo & conditioner https://www.curls.bizVanity Planet spin brush https://www.vanityplanet.com/products/spin-for-perfect-skinCharcoal Soap https://www.amazon.com/Activated-Detoxifying-Cleanser-Certified-Ingredients/dp/B0177DRIEIIsisBlack Soap http://www.ulta.com/african-black-soap-bar-soap?productId=xlsImpprod6400280Kheil’s Oil-Free Face Wash https://www.kiehls.com/ultra-facial-oil-free-cleanser/1000.htmlCastor Oil for Brows http://bit.ly/2zwCj8K****Check out all of their amazing music @stbeautyband!
