The one where we discuss the pressure to become skinny at any cost
Emma and Nicole speak with Charisse Kenion, beauty and culture journalist, writer, photographer and podcaster. In her work she digs deep into beauty standards, cultural narratives and personal stories across identity lines over the past 15 years and has contributed to the likes of Dazed Beauty and British Vogue.
We speak about the impact of beauty standards on Black and mixed women, ageing, the push for GLP-1s, and how the political climate is reflected in societal beauty standards.
