Beauty is about more than the body you inhabit — it’s a way of being that goes beyond genetics or societal ideals. Aboriginal writer and former model Sasha Sarago invites you to decolonize beauty, moving away from the monolithic Eurocentric archetype and towards a more essential, authentic understanding of self that belongs to everyone.

Transcriber:
Today, I would like
to talk to you about beauty
and how we’ve got it all wrong when it
comes to our perceptions of women,
particularly Aboriginal women.
But before I do, I would like to
acknowledge the traditional custodians
of the land in which I stand upon:
the Gadigal people of the Eora Nation.
I pay my respects to the elders past,
present and emerging
and give thanks to our ancestors
who guide and protect us.
It was 1990, and I was pumped.
I was off to my first birthday party,
just before I hit the terrible teens.
No chaperone,
and no bratty sister to tag along
so she could snitch.
I had my cute little outfit on,
gift in hand,
and I was hoping that this little cutie
that I liked would show up.
And I was hoping that this little cutie
would ask me this one question.
You know that question that makes
your heart beat right out your chest —
Do you want to be my girlfriend? —
even though I had no business
having a boyfriend at that age.
But it didn’t matter,
because back then,
it was all about the rush.
I never did get asked that question.
But the question I did get asked was:
What’s your background?
And like any proud
Aboriginal child would declare,
“I’m Aboriginal.”
Given the reaction of the room,
being Aboriginal was clearly a dirty word.
And at the tender age of 11,
I was told by my best
friend’s adult sister
that I was too pretty to be Aboriginal.
By this time, my mouth is dry,
my blood is boiling,
and I’m trying so hard to fight back
what feels like an ocean of tears.
I calmly join my circle of friends
and begin to fake laugh
at whatever is funny
to mask my embarrassment,
as I clutch on to my newfound complex.
And this is why we need to change
our perceptions of beauty.
And how we do this is by learning
from Aboriginal women,
their stories and perspectives.
Because right now, “pretty” hurts.
Pretty hurts because you’re trying
to erase my Aboriginality,
to applaud my proximity to whiteness.
Pretty hurts because aimed
at an Aboriginal woman,
it is a weapon loaded in racism,
sexual exploitation
and cultural genocide.
You see, what this woman didn’t realize
when she declared that I was
too pretty to be Aboriginal
is that she took something
precious from me:
pride in my identity.
You see, I belong to the oldest
living culture in the world,
but that day, that legacy —
it was replaced with shame,
and it’s been this filthy stain
I’ve been trying to get rid of
for 20 years.
And this is where
my obsession for beauty comes from,
over the years,
trying to mimic it as a model,
advocating for diversity in fashion,
to launching “Ascension” magazine
to celebrate women of color,
whose beauty is still underrepresented.
With much pain and trauma behind one word,
“pretty” taught me,
through my indigeneity,
I could reclaim my beauty.
To Indigenous women,
true beauty came from
the traditional roles we upheld,
our kinship systems,
connection to country and the waterways
and how we pass this ancient knowledge
down to the next generation.
The way we express beauty
was never defined against
a Eurocentric ideal of beauty.
You see, in my culture,
our beauty is not monolithic.
It’s not measured by a thin waistline,
porcelain skin or slender hips.
It runs much deeper than that.
So what does indigenous beauty look like?
Oh, it’s fierce, defiant and proud.
And one ancestor who epitomizes
indigenous beauty is Barangaroo,
a powerful Cammeraygal woman.
Revered for her wisdom and independence,
Barangaroo, like the Eora other women,
took pride in their status as being
the main food providers for their tribe.
A skillful and patient fisherwoman,
Barangaroo would access Sydney Harbour
and its surrounding waters
for its abundant food supply,
only taking what was needed.
So you can just imagine
how furious Barangaroo was
when she saw British colonists
troll 4,000 salmon off the north shore
in just one day,
then gifting some
of this catch to her husband
and some of the other men from her tribe.
Barangaroo knew such a wasteful act
would threaten the Eora women’s
cultural authority within the tribe,
furthermore destroying
their traditional way of life.
So Barangaroo rejected
British laws and customs,
their food, drink and social etiquette,
even when her husband decided to conform.
When Barangaroo and her husband Bennelong
were invited to dine with Governor Phillip
and the British party,
Barangaroo stayed true to who she was.
instead of wearing colonial attire —
a tight corset and a gown layered
in silk finished with pearls —
she came sporting her traditional wares:
white ochre and a bone through her nose.
What Barangaroo illustrated was:
indigenous beauty is authentic.
Aunty Beryl Van-Oploo,
a respected Gamilaraay elder,
shared a story
with a group of women one day,
and she said,
“We all have a bit of Barangaroo in us.”
Later that evening, I thought about
Aunty Beryl’s message.
And what I received from her message was,
no matter our culture,
color or how we identify,
spirit is what we share.
It’s what connects us.
You see, if we indigenize beauty,
the meaning is transformed
from aesthetically pleasing
to a state of divinity;
beauty now becomes spirit manifested.
Not only is spirit found within us,
it’s in all things.
It’s in the landscapes,
it’s in the elements.
The Yolngu people
of northeast Arnhem Land,
they have a Dreamtime story:
Walu, the Sun woman.
They say Walu lights
a small fire each morning,
which creates the dawn.
She then paints her body in red ochre.
And as she does, some of it
falls onto the clouds,
creating the sunrise.
She then makes a torch
from a stringybark tree
and carries this fire across the sky
from east to west,
creating the daylight.
And when it’s time for her journey to end,
she descends from the sky.
And as she does, some of the red ochre
from her body falls onto the clouds,
creating the sunset.
Indigenous beauty can be seen
right across this continent,
each Aboriginal nation with its own
creation stories of how we came to be —
astronomy, medicine, agriculture,
architecture, education, innovation.
And when we had conflict,
we had lore, l-o-r-e, to restore order.
Like the seasons,
flora and fauna, night and day,
we are all interconnected.
One does not work without the other —
the very principles which binds
humanity together.
Over the years, my obsession for beauty,
it’s led me to this truth:
you cannot appreciate beauty
if you cannot recognize it in yourself.
So how do we change
our perceptions of beauty?
We have to get real with ourselves
and start by asking: Who am I?
Where do I come from?
The world that I live in —
how did it come to be?
And more importantly: Where to from here?
You may not like what you discover.
But sit with it, feel the discomfort.
Colonization has stolen from us
one of the greatest treasures
we can obtain:
each other.
This year alone, we’ve witnessed
pathological political and social unrest.
That is why healing
is the antidote humanity needs
because it leads us to unity.
When we decolonize beauty,
we are reintroduced
to our authentic selves.
I used to wonder whatever happened
to that woman from the birthday party,
you know, the one that told me
I was too pretty to be Aboriginal.
A moment that was so devastating
helped me to embrace my girgorou.
“Girgorou” means “beautiful” in Jirrbal,
my grandmother’s language.
I now know that my girgorou is mighty,
like Barangaroo.
And my girgorou, like Walu,
it’s everlasting,
from when that sun rises
to when that sun sets.
Are you ready to embrace your girgorou?
Thank you.
(Applause)

While I appreciate the intention for inclusivity, words have meaning. We have words for all the laudable traits that the presenter calls “beauty”. To call individual qualities like fierceness, leadership, generosity, and the ability to provide “beauty” makes the term beauty meaningless. In order for a word to have meaning, it must be distinct from other words. Speaking from a purely aesthetic perspective, while it is true that global beauty standards have been shaped by European culture, a more empowering message is not that we should redefine beauty to be more accommodating to the physical traits of non-European cultures. The truly empowering message about beauty is that BEAUTY SHOULD NOT MATTER. If women are striving to have parity in this world, and they want to be measured by the power of their minds the strength of their character, THEY must relinquish THEIR fixation with beauty.
Drake Santiago
September 7, 2021 at 12:35 am
The presenter is wearing lipstick, she is wearing eye liner, eye shadow, blush, possibly foundation, a bra that lifts her breasts, a dress that accentuates her slender waist ,and white high heels – all fashion conventions that very much express European sensibilities with regards to beauty. None of these fashion decisions are REMOTELY ABORIGINAL. Yet, she is advocating for us to liberate ourselves from Eurocentric standards of beauty!? This is like an atheist berating Christianity, while wearing a crucifix around his neck.

There will always be plenty of people who find even Ms Universe ugly but that’s their personal opinion. If people don’t see our beauty, that’s not the end of the world – we are still of great value.
Nobody can stop us from owning our own beauty as her grandmother proved.
It’s important for her to believe in the power and beauty of her people. Why wait for others’ acceptance and validation?
We must raise our daughters to feel proud of much more than just their appearances and value the innumerable other admirable qualities in themselves and others and find happiness in worthy pursuits. Teach them not to care about those who cannot see beyond appearances

Even if I am against any form of colonization, some things said by Sasha Sarago seem questionable, to me.
Please… enough… with the “dignity” of peoples, cultures, languages!
Dignity, like various other “conceptual scams”, is a ballast of which intelligence must be freed.
We are a single animal species and it would really be the moment that this becomes clear for everyone!
But, above all, it is enough with superstitions like that “spirit” that would be contained by things and people!
However, in order to be clear to the many assholes, racists, fascists and bitcoin sellers robots who commented before me, they seem much more questionable than every Sasha Sarago, to me.

To paraphrase “stereotypically aboriginal women are seen as ugly” that’s a racist idea since it’s based on a general notion that’s untrue. Physical attractiveness != Beautiful. Beautiful has many meanings; in English, words can have more than one meaning in context. While it would be nice if everyone found all people attractive, much of attacitivness is tried into lust and reproduction suitability. You can’t just demand other people find you attractive.

September 8, 2021 at 2:59 pm
You should realize your own mistake; … judging yourself based on another races appearance norms and culture. What do you expect? (you can’t win)
Now you are superior because you judge beauty based upon something much deeper than what “those people” do.
You still have a huge problem obviously.
Take “those people” out of all your equations and you will be less ugly real fast.
This whole thing is still a comparison with obvious resentment and debasement of another race.
Bad Alice
September 8, 2021 at 3:35 pm
Why are you comparing yourself and your concept of beauty to your precived concept of beauty of another race; …moreover one race in particular which you demean and chastise?
Yes you are very beautiful very beautiful indeed.
I can’t believe this got on Ted Talks. I guess people think it sounds good and reasonable but they don’t analyze what this woman is saying. It’s very racist
What on earth does White people have to do with it unless you are trying to be white? Stop trying to be white.

Whiteness standards of beauty – golden-blonde hair, fiery-red hair, chocolate-brown/brunette hair, sky-blue eyes, forest-green eyes, silver-gray eyes, and chestnut-brown eyes. Pretty diverse and non-monolithic if you ask me. White people are people of colorS 😉
Also, non-Europeans have practiced colonization, too.

How is it self centered to not like something? It is actuallly self centered to believe that other people should change what they find beautiful so it does not play on your insecurities.

Hey, people who don’t like this talk, not everything is for YOU.
Damn, some people are crazy self-centered.
Hearing stories of other’s lived-in experience is enjoyable and interesting to plenty of us. Thanks for sharing 🙏🏽

in my educated OPINION; the separations within humanity further us from understanding an important idea that she discusses. the idea that “beauty” is simply aesthetic, rather than an appreciation of the spiritual and intellectual complexity that we KNOW humans are comprised. separations of identity and cultures, i believe leads us further from accepting and understanding that which we KNOW is true about our own species. as a person of the 21st century, we have a choice, to acknowledge the complexity of our species, and to alter historical definitions due to the simple fact that we KNOW more than we did.
I could share my ideas about this for days, and can only hope that stubbornness, ego, and denial don’t continue to slow, what i believe is a natural progression of the knowledge and understanding of who we, as a species, are, and what we could become.
thank you Sasha !!

This woman just seems priveleged with being pretty and then finds every angle to complain about it, don’t think she’s necessarily a good person. Just entitled and a bit delusional.

OMFG! It’s difficult to see that much ignorance, hate and racism packed into one short presentation. She should get a Gold Medal in the Victimhood Olympics and a zero score for intellect. Beauty is determined by a many different things in different cultures. One long whine with no redemptive ideas or contribution.
