How to Divorce Yourself from Modern Beauty Standards with Emma Dabiri
Episode description
Jameela is joined this week by Irish-Nigerian bestselling author Emma Dabiri to find out where & why beauty standards started, how European philosophers created & influenced binary theory and what we can do to disconnect from these beauty standards. They discuss finding the pleasure in ritual and community, loving make-up (or not a la Pamela Anderson!), the importance and privilege of growing older and finding more ways to have value as modern women outside of appearance.
Emma’s book "Disobedient Bodies: Reclaim Your Unruly Beauty" is out now, and you can follow her on Twitter @emmadabiri and IG @emmadabiri
