In this episode of ‘According To Blake,’ I was joined by Dr. Angelo Landriscina, MD, FAAD, board-certified dermatologist and influencer. Known as “Dermangelo,” we dove into the intricacies of the dermatology specialty, the decision to post on social media and the impacts of false information around skin. We also spoke on the many skin care trends taking over TikTok and whether or not they’re really worth the hype.

In this episode of 'According to Blake', I got to sit down with Grammy Award- winning singer Estelle ahead of her sixth studio album. We dove into her transition to the United States, how she’s been able to pivot across industries over her decades-long career and the creation of ‘The Estelle Show.’ The multi-hyphenate continued to emphasize the importance of “putting in your 10,000 hours,” while being proof of its power. While the singer has now found her joy, we also discussed the not-so-great side of being in the spotlight and how she’s been able to navigate it all. We also explored her very trying journey to American citizenship and how she’s giving back to other immigrants ahead of the 2024 election.
