Beauty Standards Unfiltered: The Media, Tech, and TikTok Effect
Today, we’re tackling a question that’s on everyone’s mind (whether we admit it or not): What does it really mean to be “pretty enough” in today’s digital age? With social media, filters, TikTok trends, and the entertainment industry shaping how we see beauty, the pressure feels heavier than ever. Who’s responsible for these toxic standards? Is it the media, groundbreaking tech like photo filters, marketers, entertainers, or a mix of everything?
We’ll explore the impact all of this has on mental health, societal pressures, and the endless cycle of chasing perfection. How does this obsession with anti-aging and the ideal appearance influence our youth?
Plus, as someone with experience in front of the camera as an actress and behind the scenes in entertainment marketing, I’ll share my personal experience with this while in the entertainment industry. You may be surprised by my point of view.
