Siobhan McSweeney: 'There is something inherently racist about what is deemed to be the perfect size. It's an emaciated white lady with cheekbones'

McSweeney shares her view on unrealistic beauty standards, stating, "These ideals can be suffocating. I’m learning to embrace my own version of beauty and power, especially as I enter my 40s."

Reflecting on the societal pressures, McSweeney adds, "There’s so much rage among women about what we’re told we should look like. It’s time we challenge this narrative and empower ourselves to redefine beauty."
