Summary

“I’ve learned to love my body because I’ve accepted it as my home. This is where I live - where me - the person I love the most lives, I have to make the best of it.” - Tolly sharing gems on body acceptance on this episode that I love so much

-------

Tolani Shoneye (known by her fans as Tolly) is the host of one of my favorite podcasts ‘The Receipts’. I was able to interview her while in London and we talked about everything from her Nigerian upbringing to the type of men she wants to attract. We get into her experience as one of the popular girls in school, racism her family faced in the UK, and how she adopted the role of the ‘strong black girl’. Listen to hear her take on “instabaddies”, why she loves and accepts her body, getting sleep,David Beckham, Naomi Campbell, and her love for a glossy face (RIP matte).

0:06.0	Hello, it's Brooke Devard and you're listening to the Naked Beauty Podcast.
0:10.0	I am so excited about this episode with Tolly. I reached out to her totally cold outreach.
0:18.4	I was in London for work and I was like if I can just get an interview with Tolly I'll be so happy so I've been a huge
0:24.9	fan of her podcast the receipts it's her and two other girls Melana and Audrey they're so funny it's so fun
0:31.7	it's so relatable. It's just girl talk in a room. They answer
0:36.2	questions from listeners, which were always hysterical. And I just always loved her personality.
0:42.0	So I figured, okay, if I can get some time with

1:28.6	there's someone that you admire just reach out to them you really have
1:31.9	absolutely nothing to lose.
1:34.2	Worst case scenario, they won't respond. And it's probably because they're just too busy.
1:38.4	It's not even something to take personally. But we talk about more than just style and beauty.
1:43.8	I've learned about a level of racism in the UK that I just didn't,
