On this episode, we discuss the advantages of pretty privilege. Pretty privilege are perks people who are considered conventionally attractive enjoy in life. Whether we admit or not, the society favors more conventionally attractive persons than others. As one who has benefitted and experienced favoritism due to being pretty/attractive, Ebere shares with me her earliest awareness of her privilege and how those experiences shaped her. She shares why she doesn't take her pretty privilege for granted and why she thinks it isn't fair. She admits that while she enjoyed the perks of being pretty in Africa (Nigeria), she hasn't experienced it much here in America as a black woman. We talked about how men and women experience pretty privilege and who benefits more from it. I expressed my confusion as to why pretty people or people who are considered privileged are mean. If you're privileged, the least you can be is nice and kind to people. As someone who never experienced pretty privilege, i learned early on as a child to develop other areas of my life like my personality and developing my intellectual capacity.

We are all obviously privileged in different areas. Awareness of our privilege goes a long way in helping us hold space and empathize with others who aren't as privileged as we are. If you're someone who has experienced pretty privilege or you have seen others who enjoyed it, i hope this discussion validates how you feel and we'll love to hear about your experience.
