In this episode, Vanessa Rochelle Lewis goes deep into her own story of confronting a world that told her she was ugly and unwanted, and her emergence on the other side as her freest self. Follow as she takes us through the journey of discovering her own desirability and how to build more radical and magical possibilities for our own lives. This conversation is deeply imaginative and honest while challenging us all to look hard at how we treat ourselves and others.
