Texture Diariesis a space for Black people across industries to reflect on their journeys to self-love, and how accepting their hair, in all its glory, played a pivotal role in this process. Each week they share their favorite hair rituals, products, and the biggest lessons they’ve learned when it comes to affirming their beauty and owning their unique hair texture.
Nischelle Turner always knew she wanted to be a journalist. But she didn’t imagine one day becoming the first Black woman to cohost Entertainment Tonight. “It only became a full-circle moment for me a couple of months ago,” says Turner. But she’s long been on the path: She won awards for her coverage of Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans and worked as a contributor for CNN before joining ET. In her spare time, the Columbia, Missouri born-and-raised reporter is cohosting TheBigPodcast with Shaquille O’Neal, sharing her workouts on Instagram, and leaving everyone wondering about her shiny hair secrets.
