Episode 1: The Gaps in Aesthetic Training

In this raw and necessary first episode, Fatou Diouf, RN—injector, educator, and founder of the Treat Different movement—breaks down what the aesthetics industry refuses to talk about: the dangerous gaps in training when it comes to treating Black skin.

From outdated protocols rooted in Eurocentric beauty standards to real patient harm caused by poorly trained injectors, Fatou unpacks why Black patients are being failed—and how we start doing better.

You’ll hear the truth about botched Botox, and why “one-size-fits-all” treatments simply don’t work for melanated skin.

Whether you’re an injector, esthetician, or medical professional—this episode is your invitation to lead with confidence, cultural competence, and care.

This is more than a conversation. This is a call to treat different.
