Brought to you by filmmaker Toyin Agbetu, “Beauty Is” is a collection of interviews from a diverse set of individuals ranging from scholars to hairstylists to parents.

Proof that beauty standards always need a global perspective.
Thank you Superselected for sharing info on my new film beauty is. You are right in that the film delves far deeper than the usual hair as beauty debate and addresses areas ranging from media, education and weaves to skin bleaching, relationships, confidence and character and even religion.
