Latina and Latinx Beauty - Defying White Standards
By Savannah Castaneda
As a Latina girl, I always struggled with self-love, both internal and external. Especially because white standards became our societal norm of "ideal" beauty and they outlined what type of woman you should strive to look like if you wanted to feel wanted and sexy. It was hard to love my brown skin, curves, and long, wavy, jet black hair. Bodily self-love is a journey many Latinas and Latinxs struggle with, but I hope you know that you're not alone.
