Jess Britvich began as a beauty influencer and is now quickly rising in popularity online as a cultural and political commentator with her thought provoking takes on the intersectionality of beauty standards, wellness trends, and political ideology. We dive into her analysis of covert alt right pipelines for young women and how seemingly innocuous trends reflect larger societal shifts. Join us as we uncover the hidden political narratives within the beauty industry and the role our individual algorithms are playing in shaping our perceptions.
A few topics we unpack…
* Young women’s red pill content
* The intersection of “clean living” and eugenics
* The resurrection of historically fascist rhetoric and imagery
* How the Yuka app is a scam
* Toilet paper (seriously)
* A bit of witchiness on spirituality and conspiracy
* Empowering Gen Z women (and everyone) against misinformation
Cheers!
