Racialized body dissatisfaction in Black women: development of the Black feminist model of body image
Consideration of Black women's body image in the context of their intersectional marginalized identities highlights how Eurocentric beauty standards are used to perpetuate the stigmatization of Black women. This work implies that efforts to improve the health of Black women must seriously consider the role of body image and racialized body dissatisfaction on their mental and physical health.
