Anissa, Full-time Mother
Growing up in Indonesia, Anissa perceived beauty in one way, dressing and looking like those around her. Experiencing other cultures firsthand, she discovered the richness of diverse beauty, celebrating varied body shapes, skin colours, and fashion.
I learned that beauty is from the heart, it’s all about kindness. Your skin colour or texture doesn’t make you beautiful, as long as you smile from your heart you are beautiful.
