S01E03: How do beauty standards affect our mental health?

Intersectional Feminism—Desi Style!

It’s impossible for people to be living and consuming content online these days without having glaring ideas of the ideal body type being shoved down their throats - be it social media, pop culture, adverts, music, family and society: everyone seems to have an opinion on what our bodies should be like and they don’t hesitate for a second in making that known to us. In today’s episode we’re going to be talking about ridiculous standards of beauty in society, and the harmful effect they have on our mental health. Joining us in this episode are a levy of guests, famous comedian Supriya Joshi, FII Content Strategist Purnima Singh, Disability rights activist Anusha Mishra, Trans woman writer Riju Banerjee, and the hosts of Fat. So? podcast Pallavi and Ameya!
