    Brooke Devard on Building Naked Beauty

    In the last episode of the year, I was the Naked Beauty interviewee. Our incredibly talented producer, Mbiye Kasonga, and I sat down to reflect on the previous two years we’ve spent working together. She asked me about my interest in storytelling and my experiences after a full year of working for myself and taking creative risks. It gave me a chance to talk about my early interests in audio storytelling and the inspiration I drew listening to Wendy Williams after school every day. We also talked about our professional partnership and how committing to decisiveness and rejecting perfectionism helps us get our work into the world. Of course, none of this hard work would be possible without great support, and we dove deep into how respect and support in our romantic lives make it easier to chase our dreams. Thank you so much for an incredible year of Naked Beauty, I’m excited to welcome my baby into the world and take a break, but I’m even more excited about the great beauty stories we’ll get to tell in 2025.  Tune in as we discuss: How to build and lead a strong teamWhy consistency and transparency are the most vital tools for early podcastersHow the podcast industry has changed over the past eight yearsOur predictions for the future of beauty Rate, Subscribe & Review the Podcast on Apple  Join the Naked Beauty Community on IG: @nakedbeautyplanet  Thanks for all the love and support.

We talked about her iconic looks on Insecure and she underscored how exciting it was to have collaborated with the talented crew who built the worlds so many of us love.
