After 25 years in the cosmetics industry, Beverly Danusis had had enough.
“(I was) a little tired and frustrated with the barrage of always being perfect,” she said. “I came to realize I got up every morning looking in the mirror unconsciously comparing and competing.”
In a society obsessed with youth and beauty, she said, women and girls often lose touch with their inner strengths.
“Even women with degrees and education are still bombarded with this ideal beauty,” she said.
Tomorrow, Danusis will give a presentation at the Unitarian Universalist Church of Chattanooga on Navajo Drive.
