Is Beauty Empowering or Exploitative in Sierra Leone?

We talk about beauty all the time in Sierra Leone, but rarely do we stop to ask what beauty actually represents.

In this episode, Antonia is joined by Hawa Turay - pageant coach, entrepreneur and Sierra Leone's first representative to Miss Universe, to reflect on how beauty pageants shape society’s expectations of women. They discuss the perception of beauty as power, but also the drawbacks that may come with being in the spotlight.

Hawa also speaks candidly about her own journey and challenges us to think differently about what beauty means.
