Hey lady! We know you know you’re a baddie, but do you really know the power you hold? Pretty privilege is often discussed on social media as an ideal, but it’s an actual concept with real consequences – good or bad.
Pretty privilege is the notion that society favors people based on if and how they are perceived as conventionally attractive. Often, it can result in extra favors or treats because of your beauty, but sometimes the implication of extra favor for attractiveness can make for uncomfortable situations. After all, we want to be valued for our worthiness and merit over beauty, but being appreciated for having that je ne sais quoi doesn’t hurt either.
Terri and Dr. Dom sit down and talk about when they first realized they were beautiful, ways that they’ve experienced pretty privilege, and how they’ve maintained control in their experience of it. They offer some reflection questions for you to dive deep into your own experience of it so that you can anchor why your level of hotness is top tier no matter what anyone says!
Remember lady, true beauty does, indeed, start within. So, hold your head up high and strut through life like the Goddess you are!
