Description:

In this candid episode, Ayo goes in on the fashion industry's perpetuation of a singular, unrealistic beauty standard - the exaggerated hourglass figure. She breaks down how even brands attempting to be "inclusive" still fail to represent the full range of body shapes and proportions that exist beyond just "straight-size" and "plus-size" categories.

Ayo doesn't hold back on calling out the psychological impacts of this lack of diversity on self-perception, confidence, and the ability to visualize what clothing would look like on your own body. Through both sarcastic humour and moments of vulnerability, she makes an impassioned call for greater body neutrality across fashion marketing and media.
