Tamara Gray – We are all beautiful, don’t let social media or anyone tell you otherwise

			The pressure that we are unto
under to conform to a specific
		

			vision of what is beautiful is a
pressure that is unprecedented.
		

			Other societies have not had to
deal with this. It is a pressure
		

			that we are dealing with because
of media, because of internet,
		

			because of television, because of
websites, Facebook, Twitter,
		

			Instagram, Snapchat, etc.
		

			That pressure. I want you to get
mad about that. I want you to be
		

			mad that someone out there tells
you that you're only beautiful.
		

			Excuse me, that you're only
beautiful if you're white, you
		

			have blue eyes, you weigh much
less than is healthy, you're a
		

			certain height and you're a
certain build. I want to be mad
		

			about that, because it wasn't a
woman who decided that for you, it
		

			was some group of men somewhere
within a building where they were
		

			deciding what advertising might
work, what clothing design might
		

			be best, a group of people
somewhere who decided who would be
		

			the models who would demonstrate
beauty.
		

			And I think altogether, we need to
get mad about that, and we need to
		

			say enough is enough. We are all
beautiful depend, irregardless of
		

			our color, our nose shape, our eye
color, our chin, shape, our
		

			weight. These are all
		

			issues that should make us angry,
		

			because Allah created us in the
most beautiful of ways, and Allah
		

			made each one beautiful and
exciting and interesting to look
		

			at, the beautiful woman from the
depths of Africa and the gorgeous
		

			young person from northern China
and the lovely, incredibly
		

			interesting looking tribal member
from the Amazon forest. Everyone
		

			is beautiful. Our beauty is
measured from what is inside.
