You Are Beautiful

Wednesday, July 10, 2013

I've had mixed feelings on some of Dove's campaigns over the past few years. But this one nails it.
As a corporate communications manager, I have been amazed at how often my female colleagues will complain about photos taken at events or ask me to remove photos of them from intranet postings. Not for any reason other than, "I look horrible." We have just a scant number of intact photos of my grandmother. In most photos she not so delicately used her fingernail to punch a little hole where her face belonged. So sad. Embrace your face ladies.
