Ep. 279: Talking labels, staying authentic, early days of beauty YouTube and West Indian beauty ideals with plus size content creator, influencer and model Lauren Nicole

This week I’m chatting to a very special guest; Lauren Nicole, plus size content creator, influencer and new founder of the LND studio, a London location dedicated to content creators, podcasters and events. We cover so much in this chat from how we pick up on our differences from a young age and being inspired by YouTubers like Jackie Aina and Alissa Ashley to Lauren’s first experiments with beauty. Lauren also shares her journey from blogging to influencing to now having her very own creator studio. It’s just a great chat, I hope you love it, and I know you’ll love Lauren!
