Beautiful, honest, and courageous. This woman impressed me. I think I'll show this video to my daughters. I think every young girl should hear what she has to say.
She tells the story of her own childhood and feelings of inadequacy. I love the following line:
"I had begun to enjoy the seduction of inadequacy."Some other great ones:
"Beauty was not a thing I could acquire or consume. It was something that I just had to be. And what my mother meant when she said, 'you can't eat beauty', was that you can't rely on how you look to sustain you. What actually sustains us, what is fundamentally beautiful, is compassion, for yourself and for those around you. That kind of beauty inflames the heart and enchants the soul."And:
"That you will feel the validation of your external beauty, but also get to the deeper business of being beautiful inside. That ... there is no shade in that beauty."
A gorgeous gift to share with your daughters.
