Show Notes
Avery sits down with YouTube icon and OG beauty trailblazer Gigi Gorgeous. They go all the way back to Gigi’s early days posting makeup videos as a teenager in Toronto, getting hit with hate, and still showing up anyway. Gigi opens up about growing up with two brothers who showed up for her in the most unconditional way, the early signs she knew she was different, and how the internet became her escape before it became her career. Gigi gets truly personal in a way she hasn’t before, sharing what the last year has really been like behind the scenes, what it means to rebuild your life, and how she is pouring back into herself. Avery also asks the questions parents are scared to ask, including how to talk to kids about the trans community with love and respect, plus boundaries with social media, and staying kind in an industry full of ego.
