How to Make Beauty Culture Better for Girls & Women with Ellen Atlanta

Ellen Atlanta, the author of Pixel Flesh: How Toxic Beauty Culture Harms Women, explains how the digital age has amplified pressure on women, girls, and marginalized genders to meet increasingly unnatural beauty standards. We talk about the cultural phenomenon of the Kardashians, the Love Island aesthetic, whether the body-acceptance movement has stalled, and more. Plus, Ellen, Jess, and Jenn discuss what we can do to help girls and young women navigate beauty culture safely so they feel healthy, respected, and confident as they grow up.Episode recap with links: fatmascara.com/blog/ellen-atlantaProducts mentioned in this episode: shopmy.us/collections/736826Sponsor links & discount codes: fatmascara.com/sponsorsPrivate Facebook Group: Fat Mascara Raising a WandTikTok & Instagram: @fatmascara, @jenn_edit, @jessicamatlinSubmit a "Raise A Wand" product recommendation: email info@fatmascara.com or text us or leave a voicemail at 646-481-8182 Become a member at https://plus.acast.com/s/fatmascara.
