Summary

DJ, culture creator, and iconic New Yorker @venusx is truly THAT GIRL. Growing up as a young girl in Washington Heights, Venus was exposed to beauty, music, and fashion in an incredibly unique way. From spending hours in the Dominican hair salon, to waitressing at Jay Z’s 40/40 club and starring in A$AP Rocky’s “Peso” video, yes she’s the girl with the green hair, she has taken her own brand of nightlife and fashion around the world through her @ghettogothic rave and work with pop singer MIA, Venus has really done it all.

We talk everything from #celibacy to yoga and home cooked vegetables for #wellness and #beauty — for Venus it’s all about BALANCE.

Tune in to hear more about her career journey, the struggle between self-care and nightlife, practicing celibacy, and so much more. Enjoy!

Links to Products/Resources Mentioned: Tata Harper (cleansing oil, moisturizer), Malin + Goetz vitamin E moisturizer, hanahana beauty (mask, shea butter)
