Feminism, self-worth and gender dynamics in Hollywood

After having a visibly successful career styling some of the biggest names in the industry, Jeanne Yang is now one of the top men's celebrity stylists. Her path to success didn't come without redefining feminism and her self-worth within Hollywood. But to whom does she attribute her success? To her Korean mother who scraped through job after job to provide for her family in a foreign country. In this episode, we explore how a young, first-generation American found her path, her confidence, and her voice in a cut throat industry; and how she is working to pave a healthier path for the next generation of women just like her mother did for her. Jeanne shares her thoughts on the superficial scrutiny that women face in American culture, the power dynamics she's faced in Hollywood, as well as how it's taken her into her 50's to redefine feminism.
