S2:E11 Netflix Series Part 2: Marked

from Melanated Intellects Hosted by Patrice & Shayla

In this four-part series we spotlight Netflix as a great resource for documentaries that do a thorough job of highlighting melanated history and experiences. The documentary presented in this episode involves the exploration of facial and body scarification in Nigeria and how these scars connect to identity, beauty, and spirituality. In this episode we examine everything from the controversy surrounding the scarification, to current day activist looking to change the narrative. There is a lot to dissect when it comes to beauty standards across the board…….. but especially for melanated people. Make sure you click on this episode!!
