S1. Ep 5 part 2 Body Shaming and loving yourself

"If it's not for me to have it wouldn't be there" - Master Lotus "Women are constantly being told to buy products and treatments that reinforce the belief that to be hairless is to be beautiful. We are told that our natural(ly hairy) bodies are not good enough. That's why it's important to me to fight for the right for women to grow out their body hair (or not!) and to be comfortable rocking their hair however they choose. For instance, I thread my eyebrows but don't wax my upper lip, pluck stray neck or chin hairs, or shave my underarms or legs. At the end of the day, what we, as women, choose to do with our bodies is our choice. And if we choose to rock a little stache or hairy limbs or wax or shave it off once a week, that's for us to choose and not for society or opinionated folks to dictate. Through my body hair choices, I am hoping to slowly rid myself of the scared little girl inside of me who was taught to be terrified of someone noticing the extra hair on my body."  -Jessa C from @j_charrr_ on Instagram
