Beauty Always Recognizes Itself: A Roundtable on Sins Invalid

In a roundtable discussion, several executives shared their thoughts on what is Sins Invalid all about. Natalie Havlin co-editors of WSQ: Beauty said that we are excited to host a discussion about Sins Invalid's approach to beauty and justice. Thank you for joining us. To start, we are interested in hearing how Sins Invalid's approach to storytelling as a way to create a collective vision of beauty and liberation has influenced your own work and thinking. Co editors Patricia Berne also added that Sins Invalid intervenes into cultural landscapes engaging disability, gender, race, and sexuality, contextualizing beauty in our bodies and communities while debunking myths of beauty within ableist, white-supremacist, cispatriarchy. As marginalized peoples, we've been positioned to be in conflict with our bodies. I think we must decolonize ourselves, play large, know our fabulousness, our worth, our power in the face of being told that our beauty could not be.
