Beauty Standards for Men, Being a Succes...

About this episode

In this spin off episode, we have the pleasure of chatting with Dr Vali who came all the way from London.

Shawana, or simply Dr. Vali as she’s better known to her legions of fans and loyal clients, has cultivated a cult-like following that stems from her approach to radical transparency. Notorious for her invitation-only client base spanning everyone from royalty, and the world’s most powerful CEOs to Victoria Secret’s models, Dr. Vali was born and raised in London to immigrant parents.

She is such a fun girl and we chat all about being brown, being doctors, the standards of beauty and how to find a man in today's time! Tune in for some laughs x

PS: One of the cameras unfortunately did not record, and it was the one facing our lovely guest, but we wanted to share this great conversation either way!

Recorded at Metro Pod Lounge: https://metropodlounge.com/
