Unfortunately, people have an opinion about everything. But for some reason our skin, hair, nails, bodies, height, etc constantly become the topic of conversation. We are constantly fed these unnecessary comments and have been guilty of making these comments ourselves in the past. In this episode I discuss my own experiences with appearance shaming in my Afghan communities. I talk about various types of body and appearance shaming and how we can promote self love more because we are all beautiful! Remember, if we can all live life differently then we can sure as heck all look different doing it!!
