EP - 13 - Eurocentric beauty ideals and skin-lightening

Welcome, my sugar babies!  This week, I'm serving you one of the longest episodes to date.  I hope your earholes are ready, cause I'm about to climb in deep! Did you know that Nigeria holds the world's highest percentage of women who use skin-lightening products?  77%, to be exact!  We explore the world of skin-bleaching/skin-lightening products, but before we go into the why people would risk their health in using such products, we have to understand the origins of and how Eurocentric beauty ideals spread to the rest of the world.   You know that at the end of every episode I go into full rant mode and give my two cents, this episode is no different! Are. You. Ready? I know you want to spread some of that good ole' fashion love!
