Beauty and the Beard
Harnaam Kaur started growing facial hair at age 11 due to PCOS, which, by the way, is the same hormonal syndrome that caused Whitney Thore's 200 pound weight gain (the one that inspired her Fat Girl Dancing video movement). Adolescence was brutal, with intense teasing and a losing battle against increasing hair growth. Harnaam became self-destructive and considered suicide, but when she was baptized as a Sikh at age 16 everything changed. The religion requires a respect for the body as it was made by God, and through that, Harnaam has become a model of self-acceptance and finding the true beauty of the unique body.
