Navigating Societal Norms and Media Perception

This chapter explores societal roles through the metaphor of 'seat fillers' versus 'seat stars', discussing personal experiences with alopecia and the pressures of beauty standards, especially for women in Hollywood. It also critically analyzes the intersection of race, gender, and contemporary masculinity, reflecting on significant events like the Will Smith and Chris Rock incident. The dialogue extends to the media's impact on public perception, with specific focus on the division caused by political narratives and the ethical obligations of legal representation.
