How Brandy Melville Damages Gen-Z’s Self-Image

We're back with new episodes every Thursday! First up features a conversation filmed in 2020 with StyleLikeU Co-Creator, Lily Mandelbaum, who sat down with a group of teens to discuss their experiences navigating the pressures of body image and social media, with a focus on the negative impact of brands like Brandy Melville on their self-esteem.
