Nara Smith: “I have a real issue with people trying to put women in boxes” Influence and identity

Om avsnittet

Model and influencer Nara Smith is one of TikTok’s most recognisable faces. With over 15 million followers across social media, she’s become known for her aesthetic cooking videos and signature ASMR-style voice. Think making skittles from scratch, wearing haute couture.

In this wide-ranging chat with Fearne, Nara talks about raising four young children alongside a flourishing career, pushing against society’s need to put women in boxes and the challenge of making friends when you’re just so busy.

She also opens up about her life behind the camera, the warped sense of reality created by the content we consume online, and the pressure she feels to be perfect.

Plus, Nara reveals her love for builders tea - and the shocking number of sugars she’ll take in her cuppa!

Nara Smith’s cook book, Homemade, is out now.
