After 7 years of celebrating the positives of the Black British experience, In Other News is pressing pause. For how long? We don't know but in the meantime, In Other News Founder Candace Oxley sits on the other side of the interview process, and answers a series of questions from a handful of In Other News guests over the years.

The evolution of the skincare industry has been huge, and with a process that started off as just washing and creaming, is now a routine that can consists of up to 7 steps, and requires different products for day, night, climate and stage in life.

Julian Boaitey, Founder of Yendy - a superfood infused skincare brand joins us to discuss the inception of Yendy, his childhood context, entrepreneurship, overcoming failure, personal woes, and how he would take care of his skin with limited resources on a desert island.
