#Represent Teresa, Tatiana, and Faith

From extreme diets to social media, Teresa and Faith are here to talk about everything wrong with the toxic Asian beauty standards. But we’re not here to tell you how to dress and what type of body shape is the only acceptable kind–but rather do what you love! You deserve to feel like a queen, and do whatever makes you most comfortable in your own skin.
