Host Thomas King Flagg sits down with dancer, educator, and cultural historian Michelle Audet for a thought-provoking conversation on how society packages, polices, and profits from beauty. They explore the impact of mainstream aesthetics on Black and Brown dancers, the roles of assimilation and resistance in performance, and the urgent need to challenge who gets seen — and why. This episode is a critical reflection on the politics of appearance and the personal power of reclaiming one's image.
