At a Kay Beauty event, she said that one should be careful about letting such opinions shape self-worth.She said, "I think we really need to be careful of letting narrative on social media affect our self-worth and value because there are so many opinions out there. If we’re going to start to cater to all of them, it really hampers your ability to make choices for yourself.
