Getting Real About: Scars

This week on the G-IRL podcast we are getting real about scars.
Let's be honest... we all have them! Whether we were born with
them or acquired them through the years, they are a part of us. I
really wanted to highlight this subject because society pushes
the agenda that women are supposed to be perfect, unmarked
creatures which is totally not the case. There are so many
companies who profit off of "fading creams" and remedies that are
supposed to lighten, hide, or remove scars, and I would love to
be a part in changing the narrative to where we learn to embrace
our scars and tell the stories that come along with
them. 

To help me discuss this topic, I have my good friend Abby Cramond
join me! Abby is a sophomore at LSU studying textiles, apparel,
and merchandising. After tearing her ACL twice and undergoing
surgery that left her with permanent scars on her leg, she was
inspired to create her platform My Battle Scar whose purpose is
to bring self-love back into the women and men who are insecure
about any marks on their bodies and prove that imperfections tell
a story! In January of 2020, she launched her online jewelry
boutique Joli Lione in order to share her love for fashion and to
help spread her message of self-confidence. Abby was the 1st
runner up at Miss Louisiana Teen USA and currently holds the
title of Miss Louisiana for America. Be sure to follow Abby on
her personal account at @abby.cramond and shop with her at
@jolilione. While you're there, give us a follow too @_girls :)
