Deconstructing the "Ideal" Black Female Ft Mandy Harris Williams
Podcast: Naked BeautyPublished On: Mon Sep 09 2019
Description: Harlem-born, LA-based artist Mandy Harris Williams is thinking about beauty on a *much deeper* level. This was the intellectual beauty I conversation I've been chasing all 2019. Mandy’s ultimate aesthetic: summering on Martha’s Vineyard with a strong no-makeup skin flex. Listen to hear Mandy & I discuss the mythology behind the ‘ideal’ black woman, being ‘uglied’, fitting into cultural norms, high heels as a manifestation of the patriarchy and how we feel about white women wearing braids. We also get into: How beauty privilege manifests itself Hyper-pigmentation & acne scarring Tattoos & her art careerHair identity politics How institutions like Jack & Jill, Trinity & Harvard can shape your self-perception& so much more. This is one of my favorite episodes, please enjoy!
