The only glow up guide you need if you are a young brown girl.
I spent most of my childhood wishing I could glow up. Wishing I looked different, had a different name, fit differently into the world around me. This episode is the conversation I needed at 14 and nobody gave me.This is not a skincare routine. This is the brown girl glow up that starts on the inside and works its way out.
