Bonus Episode - The Wodaabe Tribe

Surprise, surprise!  You get a double dose of me this week.

I wanted to say Thank you to all of you who listen to Beauty Unlocked and to show my appreciation, and I decided to treat you to a special bonus episode!!! 

In this bonus episode, we discover the nomadic Wodaabe tribe.  The Wodaabe tribe are said to value three things in life the most: beauty, cattle, and family.  At the end of the rainy season, before their annual migration begins, the nomadic clans gather in the desert to celebrate and compete in a week-long festival known as Gerewol. Gerewol is a vibrant cultural ceremony of courtship, but with a twist.  The men compete in a beauty contest, and the judges are the tribeswomen.  


Sign me up for this breathtakingly beautiful and rich cultural ceremony!  


I know you want to spread some of that good ole' fashion love! So, head on over to SUBSCRIBE, RATE, AND REVIEW us!


Don't be scared; I don't bite... well, unless you're into that!

About the Podcast

Beauty Unlocked the podcast
Buckle up and get ready as I delve into a variety of topics regarding physical beauty.

We'll take a look at our society's obsession with physical beauty and the consequences these impossible beauty standards have had on us.
Let's face it; this fascination regarding physical beauty and body image isn't a recent phenomenon; it has been around for centuries, crossing borders, and has affected men and women alike.
The realization of this podcast has come about by my own experiences having to deal with society's perverse notion of physical "perfection" and researching an array of topics that have intrigued me over the years.

Carissa Vikis

Hey there!
I'm Carissa, host, content creator, and producer of the indie podcast Beauty Unlocked.
Growing up, I was frequently compared and criticized for my looks and weight. This started the vicious cycle of being self-critical and loathing my body. I knew I wasn't the only one suffering from society's ridiculous notion of what "we should look like." I started digging deeper and researching various topics, and the rest is h(er)story!
Beauty Unlocked The Podcast aims to educate and bring awareness of our society's obsession with physical beauty and the emotional consequences these impossible beauty standards have. Beauty Unlocked's social media platform showcases not only my work but that of other artists, illustrators, and fellow podcasters that I admire and that share a similar message of inspiration, empowerment, positivity, and raising awareness on a variety of social issues.
