Perhaps best known for her makeup-focused “get ready with me” TikTok videos, which have received over 85 million views from her 1.2 million followers, Emira D’Spain creates viral content about beauty trends and tips as well as her life in New York. She recently became the first Black, trans model to work with Victoria’s Secret and has appeared on covers for Galore and Tmrw magazines. But before she was modeling and making her own beauty content, Emira was actually working at Paper Magazine—first as an intern until she worked all the way up to becoming the publication’s beauty director. It was there D’Spain launched a Snapchat show called Snatchural, which helped her find her voice as a creator and ultimately take the leap to strike out on her own.

Clayton Hawkins played with wigs instead of toys as a child, and by the time he was in high school, he had a lucrative side hustle doing prom hair for his classmates.

This week, Hawkins explains the techniques he used to give Rodrigo her flawless Guts tour waves, how bang pieces actually work, and which Hailey Bieber look he treated with the attention to detail he can only imagine was matched by the historical researchers behind Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer.

Molly Yeh is a food blogger, Food Network host, restaurant owner, and cookbook author. But before she entered the food space, she spent her early career in a different industry: music. While studying classical percussion at Juilliard, she realized how much she loved trying new restaurants in New York and cooking for her friends. Soon, she launched her food blog, My Name Is Yeh, and after playing music and working on her blog for a few years in Brooklyn, she moved to her husband’s family’s beet farm in Minnesota. There, she poured herself into cooking and food writing, and her blog took off. In 2015, Saveur named it Food Blog of the Year. Today, her food network show, Girl Meets Farm, is currently in its 13th season; she’s been nominated for a James Beard Foundation Media Award for Outstanding Personality/Host; her most recent book, Home Is Where the Eggs Are, is a New York Times bestseller; and so much more.
