Beauty Looks Like — Sonya Lowery
Meet Sonya Lowery, Chief Adventure Officer at World Next Door, who creates adventures and international trips for people who look like her. We invited her to take us through her personal journey in discovering “Beauty looks like ME!”
.
What does beauty look like to you? The people that are most beautiful to me are those that are confident in their own skin. These are people that own their flaws, wrinkles, freckles, or whatever that makes them THEM! Beauty comes in all shapes, sizes and colors and goes beyond what is considered "beauty" by the masses. Beauty is not only love of self, it's also love for others without judgement. Simply put, beauty is love.
Tell us your journey to seeing and saying beauty looks like you. I was an awkward girl growing up. I would see models in magazines and thought that was the epitome of beauty. I had to take a step back and ask myself is that it? Are they the only standard of beauty? When I travel, I see so many different people. They represent their culture and are beautiful in their own right. It made me think that beauty is not just one thing. It's not just one look. It's easy to find beauty in people if you just look.
How do you exude beauty on a daily basis? I smile! To anyone and everyone I can. And It's contagious.

What woman embodies your definition of beauty? Angela Bassett, Lupita, Viola Davis, Erykah Badu, and Danai Gurira to name a few
