Episode 12: Asian Beauty Standards

As Asian women, we have the misfortune to feel pressures to conform to society’s westernized beauty standards based on our gender and race. From the shade of our skin to the size of our eyes, we are scrutinized for having what we have instead of being told that we are beautiful and that we are enough. In this episode, I will be holding my largest group interview with my fellow Southeast Asian gals, Gift Inthaly, Danielle DeGuzman, and last but not least, Rosenna Moungyiv on their personal insights on what really matters (hint: #bodylove). Gift Inthaly is a second generation Thai-Laotian American who is currently pursuing a bachelor of science in nursing. After graduating college and becoming a nurse, she hopes to be able to someday travel all over the the world. Second generation and Filipino American, Danielle DeGuzman is currently in college pursuing a bachelor's degree in nursing. She hopes to experience all the world that it has to offer, so she can better understand herself and others. Rosenna Moungyiv is a second generation Cambodian American who is currently studying nursing and enjoying her newfound passion in her work taking care of patients at a local nursing home.   Read our transcript here!: https://www.projectvoicepod.com/blog/2018/8/15/episode-12-asian-beauty-standards 9.15.18: Project Voice has rebranded!
