Summary
This was an extra beautiful week to be Black! Just in time for our 50th Anniversary, Farrah Fawx (@farrahfawx) set our Instagram feeds ablaze with her jaw-dropping contribution to the #ESSENCEChallenge. The hashtag exploded all over our feeds and is now filled with thousands of stunning, Blackity-Black photos - a much-needed reminder of our beauty and resilience. Farrah stopped by Yes, Girl! Podcast and was sure to make one thing clear: She believes wholeheartedly that we should flip the narrative and tell our own stories - our way. Use the hashtag #YesGirlPodcast to join the conversation!
