The Beauty Fix
Naomi Shimada, a plus-size model pushing the often-rigid boundaries of the fashion industry, is the host of this new podcast. Her interviewees include Tan France, Queer Eye's confident fashion expert who - in fact - was so insecure about his skin as a child that he used lightening creams, and model Ebonee Davis, who sees wearing her natural curls as a form of rebellion", and wants everyone to have follicular freedom. A warm, searching and thoroughly body positive look at, in Shimada's words, how people feel free to be themselves." Hannah J Davies
