Katie Makkai sends a message to the world and to her future daughter about the ugly reality of ‘pretty’ in today’s world.
And here, this video, is a prime example of why slam poetry is the most appropriate, amazing way to express something.
Makkai does an amazing job of expressing one girl’s life trying to be ‘pretty’ while also applying it to every girl’s experience.
And now men are starting to experience it, too, sadly enough. And most of us aren’t doing a damn thing to stop it.
This video deserves to be spread, if for nothing else, in the name of self-love.
