A pessimist talks about f*****g up. An optimist talks about what happens next. Interview style chats with people from all walks of life about failing, making mistakes and how that is, often, exactly what they needed.
Before we say goodbye to 2019, we sit down with Faustina Agolley about what it was like growing up between worlds. Between her African and Asian heritage as they collided in Australia. Between her queer identity and the hetero world she was living in and how she went from watching The Oprah Winfrey show as a kid and can now tell us what she smells like.
Cosmetic work has a bit of a dirty name. We're shamed if we do get it and we're shamed if we don't. It's the double standard of beauty standards. In a world ruled by appearance and first impressions, we learn that that isn't such a new concept. We challenge our ideas about face work and cosmetics and have a bit of a coming out. Today, we chat with Dr. PK of Kaya Cosmedica about her journey through all kinds of areas in the medical field, why she, ultimately, landed in the world of aesthetics and that a frown is never just a frown. As always, have a listen, like, subscribe and feel free to leave us a review. This is Practice in Public.
