Join us as we take a deep dive into the social construction of beauty with our hosts Michaela Brown, Monica Elvin, and Emily Danko. We talk about everything from nipple piercings, skin lightening, and when we feel most beautiful. Also joining us is a special guest, Ashley Reynolds. As always, thanks to our historian and producer, Candace Hopkins, and our executive producer Elorm Atisu.
