Most women can relate to the discomfort it is to have to submit to beauty
standards. When society tells you that your natural self is dirty, disgusting,
not good enough and that to be accepted you have to submit to grooming rituals
that can be discomforting, painful or expensive.
Im not yet where i want to be when it comes to rejecting beauty standards but
im slowly getting there. I've been able to deconstruct myself on many aspect
but the pressure to be "beautiful" still a little bit there.
I had the opportunity to meet Esther, a very inspiring woman and artist. She
describes herself as a body hair activist and i was really inspired by her
story of self acceptance. She shared with me the journey of how she went from
hiding her natural self to how she now embraced it.
