How do pervasive body images and idealized understandings of “femininity” and “masculinity” affect (and/or damage) the relationship we have with our body and self? In this episode, Christy shares her lived experiences with listeners as Ritzy attempts to delineate societal constructions of “beauty” as well as the imprint of colonialism on women’s bodies. Is “beauty” really in the eye of the beholder? Indisputably, we all have different forms of honing body positivity and practicing self-love. However, this episode calls for a need to disrupt shaming/oppression and embrace an unapologetic, loving relationship with the body.
