I spoke extensively here, as I often do, about the fact that prettiness relies on multiple identities. A Naomi Campbell, who is Cis and thin and able-bodied and obedient to cultural norms constructed by white supremacy, may find social acceptance, and therefore be deemed beautiful in the eyes of the cultural judges. Yet a woman I find beautiful for her internal self, like Viola Davis, encounters roadblocks based on her looks, as she has described extensively.
