First of all your grandma is a baddie. What I wouldn’t give to be a fly on the wall with her and Maya Angelou! Also whooweee “Somewhere along the line, pretty hair got confused with healthy hair” such a succinct way of pointing out the absurdity of “natural beauty” standards. We don’t only have to strive towards beauty but have to make it look effortless too!! I’m so curious (as the avid reality tv show watcher I know u to be) how u see the extreme artificiality of people on reality tv relating (or speaking back) to this drive for “natural beauty.” I’ve always been skeptical of the term “natural disaster” - the way it hides how the choices we make influence them - their magnitude, their targets, and the recovery efforts people experiencing them have access to - so it’s interesting to think about that term as it relates to beauty!
