The Most Important Relationship is With Yourself: with ALOK

Internationally acclaimed artist, poet, author, comedian, and speaker, Alok Vaid Menon joins PRETTYSMART! They share: What it was like being bullied as a child and how it impacted them. Their daily relationship with self acceptance and self hatred. How transitioning is not about gender for them. Why they feel the most beautiful when they are telling the truth. How we are politicizing just being and the impact of that. Why they think so many people are triggered by the concept of transgender rights. Their thoughts on color! Why we all need to be more curious and have more fun. What dopamine dressing is and how it's beneficial for all of us! Gendering in fashion and why we should degender it. How we are all just souls playing dress up. Questions to ask yourself every day to lead to a happier and more fun filled life. Why we have to announce progress and look at small changes as big triumphs. Why self forgiveness has been the hardest lesson for them. Why they say their earnestness is their most controversial identity. Follow Alok on Instagram here! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
