JORDAN: In last week’s conversation, I talked about this moment at a dinner when one of my friends, who happens to be an influencer, basically said that we’re all going to have to invest in cosmetic procedures or else we’ll be “left behind.” It really stuck with me because I’m someone who is not at all interested in doing this and I realized as a community, as women, as a culture – we’re not having enough conversations about these pressures. Or at least, I don’t feel satisfied by the conversations we are having. I wanted to start paying closer attention to how fear of aging was showing up in the influencer industry, and unfortunately, I’ve noticed that it comes up constantly.
