“When we talk about bodily autonomy, we aren’t just talking about abortion,' says TooD Beauty founder Sharareh Siadat.
, it all comes back to hair. As a young Iranian woman born in Maryland and raised in small-town Massachusetts, she tweezed, waxed, and lasered her way into fitting in with what she saw as the ideal American beauty standards. But when she became a mother and witnessed Iranian features flourish in one of her children, she realized she had to embrace them in herself. "We are blessed with a lot of hair," she says, and now she sports it proudly, unibrow and all.
There are a lot of parallels to what has happened in the historical context of Iran to what I see happening in America today. This is really a wake-up call, not only to help Iranian people, but also for American people as. Now more than ever, there is a need to amplify Iranian voices, first and foremost.
So about five years ago, I decided to reclaim my identity as an Iranian. I had a personal revolution, and now I'm witnessing the global revolution happening in my country. I stand here very proudly today as an Iranian American. I am both. I support both. And it's time that my sisters are liberated and given the life that I was so fortunate to have.
