Interesting to hear what a battle it was for Michaela DePrince to get to wear brown tights.

Some people thought brown tights were “ugly.” Much of what we consider beautiful or ugly is culturally conditioned. Being more aware of how our culture has trained us to evaluate specific physical differences can help us to question the validity of those judgments. It can also open our eyes to the real damage that these often unconscious judgments can do to others.
