Embrace
Influenced by societal beauty standards perpetuated on social media, a young woman with dark skin grapples with her sense of self-worth. She turns to excessive make-up application and skin lightening products in an attempt to conform to these norms, leading to an unhealthy obsession with her appearance. As she navigates this journey of self-discovery, her actions spark concern and ridicule from those around her, exacerbating her insecurities about her skin tone and the decisions she's made
