Beauty Unlocked Bonus Episode - The Wodaabe Tribe




Beauty Unlocked the podcast show

Summary: Surprise! In this bonus episode, we discover the nomadic Wodaabe tribe. The Wodaabe tribe are said to value three things in life the most: beauty, cattle, and family. At the end of the rainy season, before their annual migration begins, the nomadic clans gather in the desert to celebrate and compete in a week-long festival known as Gerewol. Gerewol is a vibrant cultural ceremony of courtship, but with a twist. The men compete in a beauty contest, and the judges are the tribeswomen.
