In this thought-provoking audiobook, award-winning journalist Afua Hirsch embarks on a personal journey of self-discovery and body reclamation after getting her first tattoo at 40. She delves into the societal constructs around beauty, examining how individual and collective notions are shaped and often influenced by colonial ideals.
