Los Angeles, Calif. – (January 27, 2022) – Buttah Skin founder and multi-talented actor, model and recording artist Dorion Renaud, announced today that he will collaborate with NOW WITH NATALIE host, Natalie Manuel Lee on a brand-new digital series titled BEYOND THE SURFACE, which will highlight Black creatives and changemakers and examine the stories that have shaped their lives and careers. Lee will also serve as executive producer of the series.

Starting Thursday, February 3 to celebrate Black History Month, the show’s inaugural season will feature honest and candid conversations with veteran sports journalist, Cari Champion, actor Lamorne Morris (NEW GIRL, WOKE), actress Bresha Webb (RUN THE WORLD) and E! Nightly Pop co-host & fashion designer, Nina Parker. Each episode will delve into the guests’ thoughts on inner beauty, finding purpose through their careers, combatting negative self-talk, embracing life’s transitions, and releasing things that no longer serve our best interests, what has become more important to each of them during the pandemic and more.

“I’m proud to have worked with Natalie on developing a series that celebrates Black culture,” said Renaud of the new digital series. “It’s important for me to continue to uplift our voices and showcase the beauty behind our stories, especially during Black History Month, and in the current times in which we’re living.”

BEYOND THE SURFACE will stream across official Buttah Skin platforms each week on Thursdays, including the brand’s official website, ButtahSkin.com, as well as their official Instagram @buttahskin. In addition, the audio version of each conversation will be available in podcast form via Apple Podcasts and Spotify.
