Parts of Us
The BORDERS between online and offline are blurred. We see perfection on social media and it's more than a filter – it's surgery. Whether we scroll the feed or stroll the streets – the looks glamourized by magazines make us feel like Plain Jane and Basic Betsy. The expectation that we MUST serve chiseled faces and snatched waists exist and not even a first-time mother is spared. This episode will remind you (yet again) how complex it is to be a woman in this time but more notably it shares the thoughts of two women who are anchored by their confidence in a world that constantly demands us to be MORE. We hear how creating your own beauty standards is a VIBE and how cosmetic surgery doesn't necessarily mean you're dissatisfied with yourself. Sola is au natural, Rachael loves a bit of Botox and albeit from different cultures – these two women share more similarities than differences.
My conversation with them was so insightful and thought-provoking that I found myself lowering my guards and revealing my own insecurities. This was equally spontaneous and liberating. This project is deeply personal and one for self-reflection that I hope we can enjoy and appreciate as women. I share parts of me so you are encouraged to embrace parts of you – flaws and all. I give to you, "Parts of Us"- simply a labor of love. Sola Ajai and Rachael Banwell for sharing your experiences, thoughts and time as the main contributors of this project.
