This e-zine is my attempt to digest and cope all of the pretty privilege I experience in my life. I am a mixed-race Cape Verdean girl (I say girl not women because I still have quite a bit of growing to do), therefore, as a tall, athletic, hazel-brown-eyed girl, I have been experienced the benefits for pretty privilege. On the other hand, I am a caramel-skinned, curly-haired woman of color, so I have also experienced the harmful effects of pretty privilege.\u00a0 I have darker skin than most, but lighter than others. I have curly hair, but not quite kinky. I have been discriminated against, yet placed on a pedestal for the way I look. I have been provided with\u00a0 a lens into pretty privilege unique to my liminality, and, the older I have gotten, the more I am realizing the importance of critically evaluating the the ways in which \u201cbeauty\u201d and its multitude of forms and definitions are repeatedly rewarded in society. By no means are the things I say in this e-zine universal truths, but they are my truths!\u00a0 I hope that this e-zine will provide just a fraction of the relief and insight for you as it has for me!<\/p>\n
