Kapwa Kulture Podcast
Colorism, Pretty Privilege, and Filipinx Beauty
This week, Dr. Samantha Benavidez-Walsh joins us to talk about her research on colorism and the narratives that her Filipinx participants have shared about their experiences. Jemima Ruth and Sam discuss "pretty privilege" and the hurtful impact and assumptions made about one's self and character simply based on one's looks and skin tones. Afterwards, we start the conversation around beauty standards in the direction towards healing, acceptance, and pride in Filipinx beauty. Follow us on Instagram at @kapwakulturepod and @csun_counselingservices for more details and updates each week! We'll pause here and pick back up next Friday. See you then!
