In this episode, Kanika interviews former Miss America Nina Davuluri on her documentary film, COMPLEXion, where she takes on colorism in South Asia and more broadly all communities of color. The fairness industry is worth $4 billion and continues to make the youth (typically girls as young as four) feel self-conscious about their looks and color of their skin. Kanika shares her own story as a pageant winner (Miss India East Coast) and all that is flawed in the beauty industry. She goes on to share how her kindergarten children became aware of their skin tone and how they dealt with it with their peers. Listen in!
