Summary
Hey, hey!
I'm talking with Vlogger Stephanie of Oh! Stephco about her experience as a Black woman that doesn't have "pretty privilege." Don't know what that is? In a nutshell it means the more attractive you are the more opportunities (money, interest, relationships, gifts, favorable treatment, etc) are available to you.
I found Stephanie's viral Pretty Privilege video back in July (click here to watch) whilst scrolling around on Youtube and co-signed my way through parts of it. I wanted to be in conversation because I've had similar experiences as a Black woman that doesn't check the boxes of what society considers conventionally beautiful or relevant. For anyone that has ever felt less than and invisible I want you to know it isn't you!
Listen in then let me know your thoughts on todays episode.

| 0:00.0 | Black women don't get to have the full range of feelings like, you know, Latinos get to be spicy, |
| 0:05.7 | why women get to be, uh, feisty, but black women are angry. And so it's just like, you know, that's |
| 0:12.7 | yeah, but that's exactly, but that's what the halo effect is. It's about people perceiving you |
| 0:17.5 | and ways outside of your control and how that can positively or negatively affect you based on |
| 0:23.2 | their perception. Hey, hey, welcome back to the Brown Girl self-care podcast, a space where the |
| 0:29.8 | healing, liberation, and well-being of black women is centered and prioritized. My name is |
| 0:35.9 | Breed Mitchell and I am not only the host of the show, I'm also the founder of Brown Girl self-care, |
| 0:42.0 | as well as a self-care advocate. Here, I share tips, thoughts, and conversations that are cultivated |
| 0:48.9 | to pour into your self-care cup. I'm so glad you're here. Let's go ahead and get into today's episode. |
| 0:55.8 | Hello, beautiful black queens. Thank you so much for coming back for another episode. Today I have |
| 1:02.4 | the pleasure of speaking with Stephanie. She is a vlogger on YouTube and you can find her on her |
| 1:08.1 | channel, which is O Steph Coe, which I will be sure to link in today's show notes. I was going down |
| 1:15.1 | the rabbit hole on YouTube one day back in, I believe maybe July. And I came across her video on |
| 1:21.6 | pretty privilege and I was stopped in my tracks, like literally stopped in my tracks. She is a |
| 1:27.3 | beautiful black woman. She has beautiful black features and I could just hear her heart as she |
| 1:34.1 | was talking about her experiences about being passed over because of those beautiful black features |
| 1:40.8 | that black women have for the most part, like typical black features, right? So the beautiful |
| 1:47.1 | dark skin, the beautiful full lips, things like that. So I wanted to have her on the podcast to |
| 1:52.9 | share more about that and have that kind of conversation because it has definitely happened to me |
| 1:58.7 | where I felt less than or invalidated because I didn't fit the molds. I was kind of passed over |
| 2:05.8 | and it happened several times in my experience. So we're talking about that today. So if you are |
| 2:12.4 | a black woman and you feel like you were passed over because you didn't fit quote-unquote society's |
