Episode Synopsis

Hey you guys, badgyalbri checking in & I'm back with our usual race content episode. As many of you guys know, the last series of race episodes on this podcast were triggering. I would like to say that this episode is more toned down than the last ones, but unfortunately, that won't be the case. In today's episode, I will be addressing the trend of skin bleaching & why it's detrimental to society. *DISCLAIMER*: I am not an expert on this topic, I am just giving my commentary from the research conducted and from my point of view. I divided the episode into parts so you can get as much info as possible. I wanted to dive into this topic because it is another serious issue among POC. I'm creating this episode to address my point of view on what skin bleaching is & give my commentary on it. Here are links to articles about that do deeper into the topic https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/cosmetic-procedures/skin-lightening/, https://www.cnn.com/2019/01/15/health/banning-bleaching-products-in-africa/index.html, https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2019/06/15/dangerous-skin-bleaching-has-become-public-health-crisis-corporate-marketing-lies-behind-it/, https://www.vogue.com/article/skin-lightening-risks-asian-beauty-market.
