Summary

Sharing an episode from IMO’s limited series The Look. In the series, Michelle Obama opens up for the first time about her journey as a defining force in style—both within and beyond the White House. Through candid, intimate conversations with the creative minds behind her hair, makeup, and wardrobe, she reveals how she and her team transformed the scrutiny of her public image into a celebration of self-expression, inclusion, and impact. For many Black women, caring about their hair isn’t a choice – it’s a cultural inheritance, a political statement, and a lifelong journey. In this episode, Julee Wilson, Beauty Editor-at-Large of Cosmopolitan, leads a candid discussion between Michelle, her hairstylist Yene Damtew, and Blackish actress Marsai Martin about their personal hair journeys, and how Michelle’s hair evolution both mirrored and, for some, even inspired their own.  Hosted on Acast.

Saxxy Saxxy Leed Naked Black Beauty by Anna Sewell Loyal Books This unique tale is narrated by a lovely, gentle horse named Black Beauty and has remained a children's classic since it was first published in 1877. It earned eternal name and fame for its author Anna Sewell, an invalid who died within a few months of publication. According to current estimates, it has sold more than fifty million copies world wide, been translated into many languages and delighted generations of children. The original title page reads: Black Beauty: Translated from the original Equine by Anna Sewell and this gives the reader an instant glimpse into what the book will be about. As an autobiography written by a horse and told from his point of view, it was indeed an original and unique concept for the time. Strangely enough, Anna Sewell never intended the book to be exclusively read by children. She meant it to be a manual for those who worked with horses so that they would develop more compassion and kindness when dealing with these mute beasts.
