I'm great neutral tattoo artist and
activist so beautiful right now
thank you in my eyes I'm passionate
about individual expressions of beauty
I'm a massive believer that anyone
should be able to push boundaries and
express themselves exactly as they want
to me the human body is beautiful in all
its forms they think you are bad ashes
so inspiration in this series
I'm in Brazil exploring alternative
beauty culture and understanding how
ideas of female beauty and identity are
changing it's a Picasso negra it's a
brick your homework or something so
Brazil is one of the world's most
diverse nations over half of the
population identify as black or Africa's
Ilia yet less than 5% of the actresses
cast in Brazil are black I wanted to
understand what impact this lack of
media representation is having on young
black women in Brazil I went to me
actress and model nayara Justino in 2013
she was crowned global laser Brazilian
TVs Carnival Queen Maya thank you so
much for meeting with me I know it's
been a bit of a journey for you you came
all the way from Rio so thank you could
you just tell me a bit more about what
happened look at this holding that for
the hometown 14s a story became the
heritage here Brazil you can come too so
for me good for you bring soup on Vox

after my R is crowning
the social media backlash against her
being dark skinned was so extreme that
organizes dethroned her and replaced her
with a light-skinned woman tell us a

I really respect you so
and don't worry about getting upset
after seeing the very real effects of
discrimination on nayara I wanted to
hear from other young black women in
Brazil the Brazilian Blowout hair
straightening treatment is a global
phenomenon but rising up is the afro
hair movement the afro hair movement is
a political response to this pressure
which encourages women to embrace their
natural hair so I traveled with nayara
to her hair salon to learn more

DCG - it's amazing that there is a
movement but can you explain to me why
this movement is happening in the first
place why is it that people feel that
they have to fight for their right to
have their natural hair opal I found me

some great sponsor very suitable John
Ruffolo somewhat - we find racism in
countries everywhere all over the world
but here is such a magnified degree no
it's got the second biggest Nigerian
population outside of Nigeria but the
school systems here seem to not give any
education on black culture or black
history I think it's really incredible
what people like nayara doing she is
pioneering the black movement here and
and she's not afraid of anything and I
really really really respect her for
that the city of San Paulo has a huge
wealth divide with more than 20
billionaires living in the city
black Brazilians make up 70% of the
people living in the low-income fellows
I'm heading to favela the South Pole
which is a favela in the north side of
San Pablo the energy so far from driving
around for the past off now it feels
really good feels chilled everyone just
seems to be hanging out in the sunny and
ice lollies and drinking pop I've heard
loads of stories about favelas and I've
been told that going there as an
outsider is super dangerous that I
should have an armed guard with me so I
was a little bit anxious about coming
here but we've been invited in by two
amazing girls who are twins and they've
been channeling their black culture and
their African heritage through fashion
and music girls thank you so much for
inviting me into your home I really
appreciate your time your mum is
Brazilian and how was it for her raising
two young black girls in Brazil did she
did she find it hard would people be
discriminating against her for having

I felt so inspired by the way the twins
are reclaiming their identity through
style music and culture the girls took
me on a tour of the favela
they showed me another side beyond the
crime statistics that revealed a strong
sense of community the support the
locals had for the girls was really
overwhelming
[Music]
I joined the twins and some friends at
their house to get ready for the party
I'm here at Tasha Tracey's house and

that I was incredibly moved by the

themselves and create their own
interpretation of black culture as young
brazilian women they had the courage to
educate themselves beyond what
mainstream schools only deity when we
were already Tasha and Tracy took us
through the favela to where the party
[Music]

Christmas style here is ridiculous like
come here and some of the people time is
it just a party or people here like
celebrating for a bigger reason here

after meeting all of the women it's
clear that racialized beauty standards
are damaging to self-esteem and Economic

strikingly creative ways to promote a
more diverse approach to beauty one that
accepts them for who they are I'm going
