Nayeema Raza brought us the same curiosity and knowledge she brings to her Smart Girl, Dumb Questions listeners. Her early life was spent globe-trotting, so hearing her firsthand perspective on the similarities in beauty standards and practices is fascinating. Nayeema proudly detailed some of her favorite aspects of Pakistani beauty culture, especially how it has been shaped by powerful Islamic women and their preference for natural beauty treatments. We ended with a great discussion about all that she’s learned about her body while freezing her eggs and dating in NYC.

Tune in as we discuss:

• Pakistani Beauty Culture’s unique history and strong cultural roots
• The difference between anti-ageing and longevity culture
• What we should be asking about perimenopause and menopause
• Why freezing her eggs made her feel powerful
