The Audaci-Tea

Pretty Privilege


Listen Later

This week on The Audaci-Tea Podcast, your hosts Lisa, Sovereign, and Gwen take on the concept of Pretty Privilege, dissecting its societal implications, especially for women. They explore how appearance influences treatment in different social contexts, the pros and cons of Pretty Privilege, and the pressures that come with it.

 

But first, in our Tea Time segment, they break down the latest political and global developments, including the Trump/Zelenskyy meeting in the Oval Office, escalating U.S.-China trade tensions, Trump’s new tariffs on Canada and Mexico, and a look at Israel’s universal healthcare and education system. They also discuss the impact of the agricultural industry, Black owned businesses, and examine why young girls are starting puberty earlier than ever.

 

Later, we debut our brand new segment: Feminist Herstory, spotlighting remarkable women whose contributions have shaped the future. This week, we honor Hedy Lamarr, a woman whose beauty often overshadowed her groundbreaking technological innovations, shedding light on the broader theme of women’s achievements being overlooked due to societal biases.
