08 - Women and the Way We See Them

  • Summary

  • Across time and culture, women’s value in society has been dictated by their physical appearance, so we decided to sit down and have an uncomfortable conversation dissecting how this impacts us. Is the body positivity movement a step in the right direction or does it distract from the message that women are more than what they look like? Does social media empower women or does it further exacerbate the hypersexualization of the female? What measures can be taken to counteract the fixation of beauty that disproportionately affects women?
    Our guests included Momina Khan, whose work in audiovisual media are tied to fashion and pop culture; Aneesa Patel, whose focus as a dietitian is in the realm of eating disorders; and Nour Jabri, a middle school teacher who watches the coming generation react to the world around them as they develop. Get ready to listen to this amazing conversation as this group of women sit down to try to make sense of the world they grew up in, approaching it from different perspectives. It was controversial, but necessary.
