Today’s episode is all about the ritual of beauty. Jess speaks with Ana Flores, speaker and founder of the We All Grow Latina network, about the beauty rituals that were handed down to her as a young woman from El Salvador. Now as a mother herself, Ana is conscious about the beauty rituals and ideas she chooses to hand down to her 14 year old daughter. She shares how she talks with her daughter about beauty and the male gaze, and how she heals ancestral wounds. And she gives us a beautiful definition for what true beauty is. Later on in the episode, Jess sits down with the professional troublemaker, Luvvie Ajayi Jones, to talk about beauty in the workplace and “bringing your full self to work.” Luvvie is an author and speaker. She specializes in shaking up norms within the workplace. “The living embodiment of The Do,” as Jess calls her, Luvvie’s hot takes and advice can help you be more yourself at work. To sign the CROWN act petition to end hair discrimination in the workplace, and to find resources to help you boost hair confidence with a young person in your life, visit dove.com/thecrownact, or Google, “Dove, My Hair, My Crown.” You can connect with Ana @anaflores_me, or @weallgrowlatina.
