"My favorite line is, 'You can buy all the makeup that MAC can make, but if you can't look inside you, find out who am I to be in a position to make me feel so damn unpretty.'" Kelda Music revisits an amazing group from the '90s, TLC, and we dive into their song "Unpretty" from the FanMail album, released in 1999. Kelda shares how she resonated with this song in school and today how women are pressured to alter their appearance.
Kelda vividly recalls hearing "Unpretty" for the first time during middle school. She talks about being a tomboy, wearing braces, and feeling different from the "pretty" girls at school. We also discuss the song's origins as a poem. Kelda's insights remind us all that true beauty comes from within. Tune in to hear more about her journey and how "Unpretty" helped her embrace her natural self.
