Community Conversation: Beauty Standards
March 31, 2025 - 6:00 PM to 7:00 PM ET
We invite you to a Community Conversation around Beauty Standards via Zoom.
Beauty standards are woven into our existence whether we conform to them, challenge them, or feel caught somewhere in between. These standards shape our self-perception, influence how we move through the world, and intersect with identity in complex ways. How do age, race, gender identity, and other aspects of who we are impact our relationship to beauty? What pressures exist, and what unspoken expectations shape the way we see ourselves and each other?
