I just became a fan of yours. I love your work because it’s so honest and raw. I only hope to accomplish a fraction of your vulnerability and realness in my work.
I’ve touched on this issue a couple of times in my recent pieces. This society’s beauty standards are insanely toxic and racist. If you aren’t white, thin, blond or blue eyed, you don’t count. Black and WOC often also have beauty standards within our own communities that differ widely from Eurocentric norms so me having to navigate two different sets of aesthetics is exhausting, confusing and frustrating. Telling women to ignore the toxic messages we receive is far easier said than done. I don’t have an definitive answer. I just wanted to say that I hear you and see you.
