Jameela is joined this week by Irish-Nigerian bestselling author Emma Dabiri to find out where & why beauty standards started, how European philosophers created & influenced binary theory and what we can do to disconnect from these beauty standards. They discuss finding the pleasure in ritual and community, loving make-up (or not a la Pamela Anderson!), the importance and privilege of growing older and finding more ways to have value as modern women outside of appearance.

Emma’s book "Disobedient Bodies: Reclaim Your Unruly Beauty" is out now, and you can follow her on Twitter @emmadabiri and IG @emmadabiri

Jameela is joined by author, journalist, and broadcaster Caitlin Moran for this special live episode - recorded from Kings Place for the 2023 London Podcast Festival. Jameela & Caitlin take the stage to talk about modern masculinity and some of the heartbreaking research Caitlin has discovered in writing her latest book ‘What About Men?’. They about the loneliness of men and how we all need to prepare for our mental health now and later in life and how it benefits us all to be a better version of ourselves. They discuss Caitlin’s focus on ‘being a woman’ & girlhood, and while women have feminism for empowerment and growth, men are yet to organize themselves in the same way, and lots more.
