Buchi O’Maria Akpati | A Life Without Mirrors: What Real Beauty is

This week on Living the Call, Deacon Charlie sits down with returning guest Buchi O’Maria Akpati for a conversation about beauty. Founder and CEO of Beauty Unbound, which helps women realize their God-given beauty, Buchi shares about her background going from a professional celebrity make-up artist to a Carmelite religious. She talks about her time in the monastery and how she now shares the fruits of what she learned in the cloister with the world through beauty. In this episode, Deacon Charlie and Buchi break open beauty. She is a Nigerian-American speaker and beauty advocate, giving talks about a woman’s journey of discovering tools that enhance one’s God-given beauty. They discuss the history of makeup, how beauty trends could be an extension of colonization, and the radical effects of a cosmetic procedure. Buchi shares about the Influence of St. Louis de Montfort on her beauty program and what Mary, Mother of God, may have done to accentuate her beauty. Finally Buchi challenges the audience to go mirror-free.
