This is major!
Like many women, growing up, Davis did not feel seen in the limiting images of the media. As L’Oréal's latest spokesperson, she is revolutionizing what the world once deemed as"beautiful" and creating a new standard we all should embody: one of self-worth.
"There are so many obstacles and roadblocks that tell you you aren’t enough," Davis shared with the audience."We’re constantly bombarded by images in the media of perfection, and when we can’t achieve that perfection we crawl into the space of shame. If we’re not thin or so-called 'classically beautiful.' I have spent the greater portion of my life looking at so many images of women who did not see their worth.
That's why Davis is so proud to join a brand that champions for women's worth and amplifies diverse perspectives."You were born worthy, and there’s nothing you have to earn to be worthy," Davis reassured the room. After being asked what this big step into the beauty world means to her, the actress said:"I feel like my life has come full circle. Before turning 54, I didn’t know that I had the power to reject everything that the culture has dictated about me. At 54, I feel like I’ve been reborn. I fought and survived a really dramatic childhood. And I’m still able to inject the world with a semblance of love, kindness, and philanthropy.
