"Why women are risking their lives to feel better in their bodies."

It's not their bodies, it's their minds they're risking their lives to feel better in. Self hatred is real and pervasive left over from slavery. The irony is most black women are naturally curvy, but until the dominant class finds our aesthetic beautiful, we don't see ourselves as such. A very sad state of affairs.😥
