Yewande is a young lawyer in Lagos, Nigeria. She is a passionate speaker and unfiltered digital creator. She shares her raw and authentic skin care journey online in hopes to show and teach others that you can feel beautiful, confident, and strong despite the often unrealistic and unattainable beauty standards shown on social media. 

In this episode, Yewande shares her story about how she broke free from the pressures to look a certain way and embraced her authentic self. She began taking off the filters when she started sharing her skin care journey on social media. She slowly learned to detach her sense of self worth from her physical appearance and redefined what it meant to be beautiful to her. She now uses things like makeup as a fun tool for expression rather than using it as a crutch to hide behind and a necessity to feel good enough. 

We chat about the following:

• Why she became fed up with the filters, makeup, and expectations to always look perfect
• Dissecting unrealistic beauty standards
• Her definition of beauty
• How the comparison game can harm your mental health and self image
• Learning to love and accept your raw self
• The physical and mental aspects of self care

Tune in to hear from the radiant Yewande herself!!
