The vulnerability in this post encompasses beauty in ways we are not even consciously aware of. Liberating to say the least. I live for unconventional ways of being and the concepts you’ve presented in regards to “being ugly is power” is a game changer.

This hits for me, as a woman of color who also struggled with “beauty x societal conditioning x a vain AF mother” I’ve accepted and released the shame around the hairs under my neck and across my jaw line lol! I’m like fuck it who cares in the first place and I don’t feel like going through the hassle of waxing/ tweezing my face on a Sunday morning. So yea if my hairy face makes you uncomfortable that’s a “YOU” problem and if anyone is still judging others is simply an indication of judgement of self.

Definitely a subscriber now excited to dive into your world✨

I absolutely LOVE this. You’re such an amazing writer and storyteller; I got lost in your game of fantastic wordplay. To be ugly is to be exhilarating and that’s the best way anyone has ever put it!
