Hands! The forgotten Step Child w/Keesha Clark ...
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.
