Growing up, she saw herself as a "queen," confident in her magic mirror’s reassurance. But societal beauty standards for Asian women—pale skin, delicate features—shattered that illusion. After years of striving to become "Snow White" through makeup, diets, and self-denial, she realized her mirror reflected only impossible ideals. Diagnosed with Body Dysmorphic Disorder, she exposes how global beauty trends (like skin bleaching) perpetuate harm. Her conclusion? Smash the mirror of toxic standards.
