Challenging Beauty Standards Through Art with Dami’s The Braided Girls

Ganiyat S Season 2 Episode 62

We know how it feels to be invisible when mainstream beauty standards don’t see us. In this heartfelt episode, Dami’s The Braided Girls uses art and natural hair to turn those feelings into power. 

We talk about her experience with hair, straight and natural, and Dami’s commitment to inspiring other women and girls to embrace the beauty of their crown. We also discuss the challenges of people with natural hair and how art can serve as a tool to change the existing negative narrative. This episode is for every Black queen who’s ever felt unseen or told her hair isn’t “professional” or “pretty enough.” 

Dami opens up about creating art that challenges beauty standards and celebrates natural hair as a form of self-love.  You’ll laugh, you’ll relate, and most importantly you’ll feel seen.
