east african women speak: colorism, culture, and confidence

Continuing the conversation sparked by my HABESHA photo project and recent dialogue around East African beauty standards, I sat down with Dr. Nyamal Tudeal — an Ethiopian/South Sudanese woman, educator, and community builder — to explore identity, culture, and self-worth. During the pandemic, Nyamal became known for hosting lives on Shades of Injera, a digital platform that brought East Africans together to unpack colorism, cultural norms, and belonging. In this episode, we talk about how beauty is perceived across communities, how mixed heritage shapes identity, and how we both navigate self-love and wellness while holding space for others through storytelling. 🎙 Tap in for a warm, reflective conversation on what it means to feel seen, stay grounded, and redefine beauty on your own terms.
