The Woke Beauty Podcast celebrates the inherent resilience of women featuring unfiltered conversations with creative visionaries whose work intersects with mental health. The show intersperses Riley Reed's story and experience living with Bipolar II disorder while revealing her learned knowledge and expertise in the field of mental health. By breaking down stigmas and normalizing real beauty and power, Woke Beauty is working towards creating a social climate of feeling seen and being heard.

Sponsored by Gucci Equilibrium—the House’s commitment to generate positive change for people and our planet—this episode features Nicole Cardoza, an award-winning social entrepreneur, public speaker, mindfulness instructor and author whose work examines the racial and health inequities in society and offers direct, tangible resources to close the wellness gap.
