Check out how Dark Is Divine and Rotaract clubs redefine beauty

Dark is Divine is a global movement, designed to ignite a conversation to fight colorism and Body Image Anxiety by redefining society’s unrealistic standards of beauty. Dark is Divine recently collaborated with Rotaract club and is gearing up to celebrate International Week of Redefining Beauty (June 29-July 3), for the first time in history. A celebration is a week-long event that aims at celebrating beauty beyond shades, shapes, and sizes.

There will be special awareness drives that are going to take place in more than 25 countries throughout the week in which more than 35 Rotaract clubs are participating to generate mass awareness and to redefine the unrealistic standards of beauty through positive messages regarding body image.

There will be two fundamental sessions via Dark is Divine Talk Radio (worldwide) in which a Lebanese Therapist/Healer, Ms. Abeer will be talking about Self-Acceptance, along with Ms. Gul Qaiser, a renowned cosmetic physician and dermatologist trained from Australia, who will be shedding light upon the topic of Redefining Beauty.

Ms. Lodhi further claims that being a Rotaractor, she was recently interviewed by an international magazine The Rotarian for her work under Dark is Divine and soon after the interview she was contacted by several Rotaract clubs to have a collaborative event regarding Redefining Beauty, therefore she along with Mr. Zahid, E.D Dark is Divine and Rotaractor Nayela Naviz is holding these week-long activities in collaboration with more than 35 Rotaract clubs.

Mr. Zahid claims that for the first time, not only in the history of Pakistan but Asia that an international week of redefining beauty is being celebrated, that too on such a large scale across the globe and it will help in generating more awareness and help teach the masses to recognize their true worth and understand that everyone is beautiful.

Rtr. Nayela adds that such events with powerful messages are in dire need at this time. Ms. Lodhi says that this event wouldn’t have been taking place on such a large scale without the support of Rotractors. She ends with a strong message that:
