Authenticity Unfiltered: Social Media's Impact on Self-Perception

Highly Melanated Podcast

What if social media was secretly sabotaging your mental well-being and self-image? Sit back and join us in a thought-provoking conversation on the Highly Melanated Podcast about the impact of social media, filters, and the pressures of beauty standards on our self-perceptions and mental health. We embark on a rollercoaster journey starting from the minor frustrations of Instagram blockages to the serious topic of body acceptance and external validation.
Have you ever questioned the name of that floating tube in the pool or pondered about the contracts in the entertainment industry? We'll answer those questions and more, as we discuss a broad spectrum of light and heavy topics. We applaud the wins, like E.C. Pizarro receiving the Gay City News Impact Award, and also address our struggles, from our personal experiences with body dysmorphia to the societal expectations that mold our self-image. At the heart of our conversation is a powerful shout-out to Grace Detravera, our upcoming guest, and an encouraging reminder to live life joyfully and authentically.
We're not just talking about problems, we're sparking change! As we navigate these conversations, we're challenging you to question your use of filters and confront the realities of social media addiction. We share strategies like taking progress photos and limiting phone usage to maintain a realistic self-image. Let's celebrate the strides being made for representation in the entertainment industry, discuss the decline of cursive writing, and so much more! Join us, and remember to celebrate life, laugh often, and love much - all in a highly melanated fashion.
