About this listen
Racism. Identity. Beauty standards. Imposter syndrome.
In this episode, I’m joined by entrepreneur and haircare expert Jamila Usman, founder of Jamila Haircare, a brand born from her experience as a biracial woman of Nigerian and Italian heritage.
We unpack the weight of Eurocentric beauty ideals, what it means to carve out space as a biracial woman in business, and how Jamila helps others build the confidence she once had to fight for herself.
We also dive into imposter syndrome — how it shows up, how we navigate it, and how we’re unlearning the belief that we have to prove ourselves just to take up space.

P.S for anyone wondering, we met on the set of Empire by Watermat.
