Can We Talk?

Excited to be back with another episode in our conversations series! The series will feature guests from different backgrounds, who are close to our reality, trying to figure out career, love, family and everything adulting. So get ready for some good ol' conversation!

In this episode, I talk to Melissa Tendo about beauty. How do you define beauty? What frames what/who we consider beautiful? Does conventional beauty play a role in your dating life? Would you consider cosmetic plastic surgery? We talk about colorism, how it affects us as young black women and how society's view on dark-skin has changed, and what implications that has had. All this and more!
