Pretty Powerful

Political commentator and legal analyst Eboni Williams believes that women should stop covering up their beauty--and instead, let it show. If a woman is physically attractive, there may be a presumption that she lacks the substance and smarts necessary to provide leadership in business and other endeavors. This narrative implies that being pretty and being capable were mutually exclusive. In PRETTY POWERFUL, Eboni Williams rejects that narrative. She says that to accept that false notion is to leave an incredibly powerful tool on the table. The knee-jerk reaction for most women is to feel shamed by this potential advantage--but Williams says it's okay for women to take full advantage of the most immediate and obvious attribute at their disposal. Embrace your beauty!
