I love Dove’s latest addition to the Real Beauty campaign: Real Beauty Sketches. This time, Dove invited a forensic artist and a group of women to take part in a revealing social experiment.
Hearing these women talk about themselves and how they see themselves is all too familiar. But to then have the opportunity to see them see themselves through another person’s eyes is powerful and inspiring (I admit it, I cried). As one participant says in the video, “We spend a lot of time as women analyzing and trying to fix the things that aren’t quite right. We should spend more time appreciating the things we do like.”
Thank you to Dove for this lovely experiment to help women combat the beauty myth. For more, check out all the sketches and interviews and join the conversation at #wearebeautiful.
