""A book that embodies everything Dr. Ally is and the work she is doing - smart, validating and deeply necessary. In a world that tricks us into picking ourselves apart, it's about time we start redefining what beauty is and question who decided it belongs in the eye of the beholder.""--Kamie Crawford, TV and podcast host, Relationsh*t


""Dr. Allycin Powell-Hicks masterfully unpacks the intricate web of beauty, perception, and societal control. The Problem with Pretty is a rallying cry for women to reclaim our narratives, liberate ourselves from oppressive beauty norms, and embrace our inherent power--we are so much more than what others see! This is a must-read for anyone ready to challenge the status quo and redefine what it means to be beautiful.""--Christine Platt, author of Less Is Liberation ""A book that embodies everything Dr. Ally is and the work she is doing - smart, validating and deeply necessary.
