3.3 Dismantling Beauty Standards with Jessica DeFino

Saturn Returns with Caggie

In this thought-provoking conversation Caggie is joined by award-winning reporter Jessica Defino, whose work focuses on deconstructing beauty standards and the beauty industry. They discuss how social media has created an unachievable, perfect aesthetic that people are trying to maintain and recreate through surgical procedures, and how the ability to alter our image digitally and physically, has intensified our obsession with beauty and youth. This conversation explores why certain structures benefit from this, and how disempowering it is for the collective, why we need to disconnect value from beauty, and how we can start to have conversations that dismantle the patriarchy and help us step into our power.
