Volume 8: A Look into Being Black in Fashion and Being Black in America

Episode Summary

Fredia and Jena sit down this week with Jessica Egbu, style writer, content producer, and most commonly recognized for her fashion blog and Instagram account both entitled "The Oxfordist". Jessica self identifying as the "fashion girl who doesn't care" shares with us the many ways in which she's exactly what the high fashion world needs: a brilliant, self empowered, and unapologetically black style icon. Laugh with us as Jessica shares her ideas on colorism in the fashion industry, dealing with white friends, her British childhood leading into her Black American adulthood, and what young black girls looking to chassé into the fashion world need to keep in mind.

Episode Notes

The It’s A Look podcast presents fresh and knowledgeable views on the people and places you may know but not know much about. Join Fredia and Jena for a monthly dose of comedy and curiosity through a curated collection of candid interviews, sonic experiences, and live podcasting shows.

Fredia’s expertise within the show is laughter and making heavier topics more digestible. Jena drops the insightful gems, the questions that expand your perspective. Before you hear anything else, you hear their friendship. As a duo, F+J are tastemakers who have their freshly manicured nails set on the pulse of humanity and what holds us together.

At its core, It’s A Look is historic. It’s what Jena’s mom and Fredia’s grandmother didn’t do. It’s bigger than both of them. It’s what they saw that you didn’t-- A Look.

It’s A Look is produced by three bad ass brown women- Fredia, Jena, and Sami Hiromi. Music by Jarin Tindall. Videography by Aquavis Warfield. It’s A Look branding and website design by Amy Jasinki.
