Sam Desalu is the definition of a renaissance man! In this episode we chat with him about how he began his career in the wardrobe department at BET and his love for Africa. He tells us all about touring the world with popular Afrobeats Artist, Runtown, the inspiration behind him starting Desalu Naturals, a shea butter skincare line, and its mission to help women’s menstruation in Africa. And of course he dished about his skin and hair care regimen. Sam also spoke to us about uprooting his life in Africa for his newborn daughter, Zion, and how the past few months have allowed him to grow deeper in his faith and walk with Christ.
