Sawabona Association is all about women empowerment and coming together to lift each other. We couldn’t be more proud of Katy Johnson, for bringing attention to such an important subject “Beauty For A Purpose”. With the mission of finding a better understanding of the world and the beauty within it, Katy goes on a journey with the hopes to change the world’s perception on what true beauty really is and to empower all women!
“One Model Mission” will follow Katy Johnson around all 196 countries in the world. Those following will feel as if they are beside her as she discovers the beauty in each country, interviews women from different nationalities, while also dealing with struggles of solo-travel, loneliness, language barriers, border control issues, and many other difficulties one would face traveling the world.
“I hope to find a common theme that is much deeper than the skin of one but that true beauty is the traits and morals our soul possess. The empathy, love and tolerance we share. It’s a mission reminding us that we are not much different from one another. This mission is to shed light on the misconceptions and skewed perception of beauty, especially those constructed in western society. It is to show off not only the beautiful women of every country, but also to show the beauty of each country in the world; the beautiful landscapes, history, culture, with a goal to encourage more love, peace, and understanding amongst us all while also advocating for women’s equality. Along with the bigger picture, it is also meant to show a model that has left the industry for a deeper purpose; it’s a mission to not only find true beauty and purpose in all women but to also find true beauty and purpose within herself.” – K.J
This docu-series will show the harsh truths of what some women endure in order to be and feel beautiful or respected and even just to be safe in their own country. This will be a mission to show the different struggles of being a woman in different societies. It will feature how women from different cultures still struggle with inequality, oppression, and basic liberties, as well as some unrealistic beauty standards and traditions.
In the end, it is a mission for every woman to come together and say, “You are beautiful, capable and worthy! I understand you, I value you, let’s change the world together!”
