Why is it so hard for women to simply get older without everyone having an opinion? This week on Girl… Call Me with Tanya and Jessica, we're talking about aging, beauty standards, Botox, cosmetic procedures, and the pressure women face to look younger, even as we learn to embrace who we are.
From the public conversations surrounding Jasmine Guy and Sarah Jessica Parker to the expectations behind “Black don't crack,” we're asking some uncomfortable questions. Why is looking younger considered the ultimate compliment?
What does it really mean to age gracefully? And are women sometimes reinforcing the very beauty standards we're trying to escape?
Tanya admits she still loves being told she looks younger than her age, while Jessica challenges her to consider why that matters. Along the way, they explore social media filters, gray hair, body image, plastic surgery, and the difference between wanting to look young and simply wanting to look good.
Of course, it wouldn't be Girl… Call Me without a few detours. Jessica shares an awkward airplane encounter, Tanya attempts to navigate WNBA commentary without getting herself in trouble, and the two reflect on what they're finally giving themselves permission to do as they get older.
It's an honest, funny, and sometimes uncomfortable conversation about aging as women, the expectations we carry, and learning to give ourselves and each other a little more grace. What beauty rule are you finally ready to retire? **Enjoying the show?
