Is beauty subjective? Or could it be argued that those who meet a more objective standard of beauty have it easier in life? Studies suggest people who are white, thin, cis gendered and able bodied are more likely to be considered ‘attractive’ and thus likely to find jobs easier, have access to more social capital, as well as potentially lighter sentencing if convicted of a crime. Join Rianne and Tolu as they discuss pretty privilege and the effects of racism, colourism and pigmentocracy on the western standard of beauty.

This is a great idea and very necessary for our people. Do not be deterred because there is a deep necessity for us to have such platforms and discussions

Now as you can see by my profile picture that I am a chocolate brown skin black woman.. I have actually received pretty privilege quite a bit in my life and most of my pretty privilege has been from white people.
