In our first ever episode, Mary Nielsen sits down with Taylor Phillip, social media coordinator at Fearless Beauties and fellow producer of the podcast. The two discuss how estheticians get their start in the beauty industry and the key challenges facing them when they do. The episode documents three impactful stories from Noelle Schwartzkopf, the owner of You Matter Beauty, Sonia Dumas, a Board-Certified Nurse Practitioner and the owner of A Touch of Youth, and Krystal Martos, the owner of Sugar Mamma. Each interview offers a unique perspective of starting out in the beauty industry as women of colour, and points to the changes that need to be made to create a level playing field.
