Let’s talk about... ‘The Reality of Social Media’ with curve model, makeup artist, influencer and activist Sasha Pallari.
Sasha’s #FilterDrop campaign changed the rules around online advertising in the beauty industry after she set about to expose the dangers of Instagram filters and the impact of them on our mental health.
With a warm, funny and frank approach to living life and sharing all things self-love, mental health, and, of course, fighting against unrealistic beauty standards – Sasha is a breath of fresh air who will both entertain and inspire you.
