In this special Junk and Jam Hour, Photographer, Media Producer and Founder of Lensa Productions, Anna Auguste joins Christopher Albert in the Radio Free Brooklyn studio to discuss her impassioned ventures, including the #ithinkyourepretty campaign - a photo project and collection that empowers dark-skinned girls define what beauty means to them.
Also on topic is black women body image - how society, her own culture - and even lingering negative images from the slave era - directly influences her own feelings about her hair, size and ultimately, skin color.
Anna, who is also of Haitian heritage, shares her own past battles and journey toward accepting her own beauty, and like many black women who have embraced their own natural kinky and curly hair, Anna is proudly a baldy by choice.
Most importantly - Anna encourages listeners to bravely speak up as she becomes vulnerable enough to share her story of having been sexually abused.
