International Women’s Day calls for the acknowledgment of the glitz as well as the glum of being a woman. Here’s an adventurous conversation with one unapologetic attorney/ wax aesthetician who came into an early awareness of the power of being female. Tatiana Answer champions women’s rights and empowerment socially, politically, legally and aesthetically.
She guided us along the local pathway she took to feminism and providing support through one of the longstanding organizations fighting gender-based violence in Jamaica.
The conversation strips away to a self- illusioned near death experience which inspired the creation of her now full-fledged wax company Hedged. Imagine turning your short-lived trauma into a livelihood!
Underneath all the reflections and risqué rundowns is the reminder that through each day and every encounter, women break barriers when we #ChooseToChallenge.
