From Beauty Director to Influencer — Emira D’Spain Breaks Barriers and Shares Influencer Secrets

from Gloss Angeles

This week, we’re joined by Emira D’Spain — model, influencer, television personality, and former beauty director at PAPER magazine — who has been breaking barriers across fashion, media, and entertainment. Emira made history as the first Black trans model to walk in the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show and the first full-time trans cast member on Bravo, but before influencing, she was building a traditional editorial career after graduating magna cum laude from NYU. We talk about how she made the leap from beauty editor to full-time creator, how her editorial background shapes the way she approaches influencing, and what people don’t see behind the scenes of brand events and partnerships. Emira also spills a little influencer tea, shares the content that performs best for her today, and opens up about the biggest lessons she’s learned navigating social media, business, and beauty.Watch our episodes!Shop our episodesInstagram: @glossangelspod | TikTok: @glossangelespodEmail: [email protected] Hosted on Acast.
