EP - 63 - The Sexualization of BIPOC children ft. The Daughter of Lilith pt. 1

Welcome, friends!

We have a special two-part episode, and I'm joined by my cohost, The Daughter of Lilith! A year has passed since our last collaboration, and we're coming in hot with this one. We're talking about the hypersexualization of BIPOC children and teens.

The hypersexualization of children is omnipresent in today's society. Whether through social media, television, movies, and fashion, it leads to an undeniable eroticization of childhood, forcing children to become adults before their time.

We might ruffle a few feathers with this conversation, but we're telling it as it is!

Listener discretion is advised as we talk about minors, school shootings, war, and murder.

ARE. YOU. READY?

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.

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.
