Link to Cameron Russell's Talk: Looks aren't everything. Believe me, I'm a model.

In Cameron Russell’s TED Talk, she describes what life is truly like as a model. While she discusses the perks, the pretty pictures, and the wonderful travel experiences, she also describes the hardships and insecurities. She explains that just because you are pretty and thin, does not mean that you are not insecure or doubting yourself constantly. Beauty does not always come from your looks on the outside, but from how you feel on the inside that really makes you feel beautiful.
I found Russell’s speech to be effective through her use of humor and real life examples, as well as her tone. She was relatable and down to earth, which made her talk easy to listen and understand her point of view. While her speech was effective and inspiring, I do wish Russell had focused her ideas on one issue. Besides inner beauty, Russell also touched on race issues, especially within modeling. But due to the fact that her talk was rather short, it was difficult to keep up and know exactly the purpose of the talk. I wish Russell had developed the race issues into its own talk because it would have been a really interesting topic. Russell made her point clear when she ended her talk with her takeaway regarding beauty, which helped to bring the speech together.
What topic did you enjoy the most in her talk? What topic do you wish she had discussed further?
