Dove Talks: Meet the Women Joining us to Change Beauty
We’ve made it our mission to change beauty. To stamp out unrealistic beauty standards once and for all. And to take our longstanding movement even further towards tangible change, we’ve been having deep and meaningful Dove Talks with celebrated global advocates. We’re so excited to have joined forces with these inspiring voices: incredible beacon of body confidence and musician Lizzo; legendary author and television producer Shonda Rhimes, best-selling author and podcaster Megan Crabbe; and model and mental health activist Nyome Nicholas-Williams.
Watch this space to hear unmissable words of wisdom. We’ll be sharing everything you need to know about social media and digital distortion, Black hair discrimination, censorship bias, and how to reduce our cumulative impact on the planet. Together we can change beauty – and this is just the beginning.
