Tired of the pressure to be “fine” when I wasn’t. Tired of stories being watered down or wrapped in perfection before anyone was allowed to share them.This podcast is my way of saying: you don’t have to filter your beauty to belong here.The messy parts, the healing parts, the in-between—they’re all welcome.Unfiltered Beauty is about holding space for the stories we’re often afraid to tell. It’s about honoring the voices that don’t always get heard, and sitting with the discomfort, the depth, and the hope that comes from being real with one another. I started this show for the version of me who needed to know she wasn’t alone.And maybe, just maybe, someone out there listening needs that too.You matter. Your story matters. 🤍#unfilteredbeautyepisodicRain Garciaunfilteredwings@gmail.comyes<![CDATA[Unfiltered Beauty X LyNz A.F.]]>The conversation with Rain and LyNz covers a range of topics, including community engagement, political involvement, endorsements, career transitions, policy and advocacy, setting a foundation for change, future aspirations, and support and advocacy.

Hey beauties đź’•

A new episode is LIVE, and this one is powerful.

I sat down with Joe Joe, and we went all the way in — openly, honestly, and unfiltered — about his journey to getting his U.S. citizenship.

From coming here as a baby… to navigating the long, emotional process… to finally reaching that moment so many dream of. His story is raw, real, and a reflection of what so many families are facing in today’s world with immigration.

We talk about:

✨ The fears

✨ The waiting

✨ The identity struggle

✨ The reality of today’s immigration system

✨ The resilience it takes to keep going

Joe Joe’s experience is more than paperwork — it’s a journey of hope, strength, and finding your place in a country that doesn’t always welcome you with open arms.

AND OH YEAH… you’re gonna want to stay till the VERY end.

Because I announce my next guest — an Unfiltered Beauty x Rain takeover by a celebrity guest.

Who is it? đź‘€

Well… you’ll have to listen till the end to find out.

And I also open up about something I’ve been hiding for a long time.

A secret I kept for years…

But staying true to “Unfiltered Beauty,” I finally come clean — because the time was right to share it.

So stay tuned, press play, and get ready for a real, unfiltered ride.
