She was a supermodel, originally found by brands from her blog and instagram posts. She recognizes that social media edits out imperfections that make us all interesting, and are detrimental to our own health and the health of others. I thought she was beautiful in her still photos (which she explains could take a whole day to pose, shoot, and edit), but she is even MORE beautiful when she speaks so passionately and intelligently about the social media culture and how "likes and numbers" cause addiction to validation from strangers and how she believes we can change and what SHE finds interesting and beautiful! Thanks, Essenia O'Neill, for shedding some light on this major issue throughout the world as we become "more connected" and "less connected" at the same time.

When Beauty has Brains...
...it recognizes that all of us are beautiful, that a brain makes you beautiful, that being a good person is beautiful, that image is powerful, and that image is not beauty; it is fiction.
It is a sculpture of a desire. It is a contrived moment.
"Beauty," says the brains, "are not everything: trust me...I'm a model."
Thank you Cameron Russell, for the reminder of what beauty is.
