Summary
Grammy-award-winning artist and beauty entrepreneur Alicia Keys has arrived at Naked Beauty, and we couldn’t be more excited. With braids and makeup choices that have influenced beauty culture for decades (most recently the Super Bowl halftime show), we sit down with Alicia to talk about where her relationship with beauty all started.
Tune in as we dive deep into:
*Growing up biracial in Hell’s Kitchen and the musical that is inspired by her upbringing
*How Alicia’s mother and grandmother’s lack of self-care inspired her to choose differently
*Her love for solo travel
*The birth of Keys Soulcare and the power of its affirmations
*Learning to embrace what serves you best

| 0:15.8 | because we all know and love Alicia Keys. |
| 0:18.5 | And as I was preparing for this interview, I was thinking about my |
| 0:21.5 | introduction to Alicia Keys and what seeing her image sitting at the piano meant for me as a young |
| 0:27.6 | girl in New York. Just honestly, she was everything. And I was able to talk to her about that in this |
| 0:33.5 | interview. But I also want you to think about when you first were introduced to Alicia Keys. |
| 0:37.5 | And then let that image melt away a little bit because I think I was able to really speak to Alicia Keys in a way that just felt like, I don't know, like two girlfriends catching up.

| 1:34.1 | how flawlessly beautiful she is. Like, even on Zoom. Who looks good on Zoom? Certainly not me. |
| 1:41.5 | Incredible skin, incredible energy. And she was just so hyper present you just feel |
| 1:46.2 | her presence and her honesty and her spirit flow through every single answer that she gave |
| 1:51.4 | throughout our conversation and if you listen to last week's episode you know we've already been |
| 1:55.1 | talking about how your beauty is an amalgamation of all of your other practices it is not just |
