We share our unfiltered thoughts on the beauty standards we grew up with as Asian women and how we’ve redefined them for ourselves. From trying to please the male gaze and not be othered for our Asian features, the message of never being good enough was loud and clear. We talk about our sometimes painful journeys relating to beauty and body image, and how we are learning to set ourselves free.
