258: Indian Beauty Standards, Plastic Surgery in Pageants, and Empowering Women with Miss America Nina Davuluri - a podcast by Kay Durairaj, MD, FACS @beautybydrkay

Hi Beauties!



On this week's episode of Beauty Bytes with Dr. Kay: Secrets of a Plastic Surgeon, I am excited to be joined virtually by Miss America 2014, Nina Davuluri. This amazing woman is the first contestant of Indian descent to ever win the Miss America pageant! She has used her platform to advocate for racial equality and break down deep societal beauty standards. Her documentary COMPLEXion shares stories about colorism, self-acceptance, and diversity. We talk about our experiences as Indian American women and how certain beauty expectations have shaped our lives. Nina shares her experiences on the pageant show Miss America and gives her take on plastic surgery and body image in the competition. Finally, we talk about beauty products, the subliminal messaging that many young girls are influenced by, and the best KD skincare products for a natural, beautiful look.



I love chatting with influencers from around the world and hope the Beauty Bytes enjoy this episode and find it informative! Have a question or something you'd like covered on the podcast? Send me a DM or email info@beautybydrkay.com
