What is beauty ALL ABOUT?

Many people define beauty differently according to their own experiences. According to
Merriam -Webster “beauty is the quality or aggregate of qualities in a person or thing that gives
pleasure to the senses or pleasurably exalts the mind or spirit”.

Some philosopher such as David Hume said “Beauty is no quality in things themselves: It exists
merely in the mind which contemplates them; and each mind perceives a different beauty. One
person may even perceive deformity, where another is sensible of beauty; and every individual
ought to acquiesce in his own sentiment, without pretending to regulate those of others.

Celebrity such Ellen DeGeneres explained beauty “Is about being comfortable in your skin. It is
about knowing and accepting yourself”.

I will share with you my life experience on beauty 🍀

I am a mixed race child, my paternal great grand father was an Arab who married to a Masai-
African woman and my maternal grandparents were Africans. When I was young, I was living
with my maternal grandmother and I remember during that time, everyone would tease me
and call me "Nkamwarabu" (meaning an Arab child) because of how I look; My skin was dark
but not as darker as others and my hair was soft and very curly- I always felt different from
others and I wanted to be like everyone else. I forced myself to blend in with the rest of people
around me.
