Summary

I had the incredible opportunity to travel to Zambia with my husband, son, and growing baby, and I couldn’t help but be mesmerized by all the beauty I saw. In this beauty dispatch from Zambia, you'll hear about the beauty insights I gained, from marveling at the local wildlife and skincare traditions to making Mongongo oil with the Booma Women’s Cooperative and of course, shopping in the local market.

Tune in as I discuss:

The beauty of the school children in Zambia and the impact of colonialization
Everything I learned about birthing and skincare rituals in wildlife
The benefits of Mongongo oil, which I tried my hand at making
The delicious local food I got to try

0:00.0	Hello, this is Brooke Devard and you're listening to the Naked Beauty
0:07.1	podcast. This is my beauty dispatch from Zambia. You all know I love travel and I love beauty. So anytime I can
