Continue reading →: Punished For Being Pretty #diversity #beauty
One of the things I love most about Instagram is not the beautiful images you see of lives well lived, well traveled and well considered, it’s the motivational sayings that proliferate the platform. In fact, my own posts are comprised of more phrases than pictures. Model Naomi Campbell posted one…

I’m convinced that perception is half the reason progress in diversity-related matters is yo-yo slow.

This video is frickin’ hilarious. It should have been sad and weird and uncomfortable, but this dialogue is so familiar it just couldn’t be. It’s obviously meant to educate in a light and humorous way, and I hope that’s how people take it.
