Summary

On this episode of The Run-Through, we revisit one of our favorite interviews with singer, doula, comedian, and March 2023 cover star, Erykah Badu. She came to the NYC studios (not the Badudio this time) to not only show off her futuristic outfit, but also to give an unforgettable tarot card reading to Chloe. She also shares the behind the scenes of her cover shoot and gives us the secret to her skin care routine (hint: it’s money!).
