Jodie Turner-Smith Agrees ‘Anytime A Black Woman Is Enjoying Herself, It Is Something To Be Celebrated’
Despite the preparation for the gala, Smith acknowledged the event being an opportunity to prioritize self-care.
“I’ve been at pilates every day doing my lymphatic drainage massages, and my facials, just like taking care of self,” Turner-Smith said, adding that her hectic schedule doesn’t lend itself to much self-pampering time.
“It’s actually really nice because in our business this is what people get to see, right, they get to see us, like, celebrating each other and celebrating design and art and fashion and ‘Oh, it’s just one big party and premieres,’ but the reality is, it’s really hard on your body. You don’t get a lot of sleep, you have all these first world problems but it’s a lot of stress and strain and you know, when you fly around everywhere, like what that does to your body, so we often don’t take care of ourselves…so this has actually been a really fun little excuse to be like, ‘Oh, I need to take care of my body right now,’” she added.
