Summary
Today we’re sitting down with Jessica Mann, makeup artist and content creator behind @TheBlondeMann on Instagram. We’re keeping it light, and then diving deep talking about everything from being voted the best selfie taker in high school to the importance of women raising each other up and growing together, rather than isolating ourselves in a competitive mentality. Tune in as we discover the positive side of social media, learn about how to deal with family members who don’t support your dreams and discuss the true power of makeup to make us feel confident and to express ourselves creatively.
