In this episode, the Fearless Beauties team explores the $5 billion-per-year  phenomenon of child beauty pageants. Beginning with a brief history of the child beauty pageants, the episode also dives into the cultural attitudes they promote including toxic beliefs surrounding beauty and sexuality. The team also covers some of the devastating impacts child beauty pageants have had on contestants and their families in the past, and how we can flip the script to write a more positive narrative in the future.This podcast episode was produced by Quill.
