Summary

62% Informative

Kalki Koechlin is the host of the award-winning BBC podcast Dear Daughter.

The show is the brainchild of Namulanta Kombo , a mother from Nairobi on a quest to create a "handbook" for her daughter.

In it, she offers advice for navigating pressures around body image.

The actor says she feels "ugly sometimes, even though I'm constantly told by the world around me".

I wish I had listened to you and been curious enough to ask you why you didn't feel pretty? I make mistakes too, my own insecurities and need to protect you took over.

Thankfully, I get second chances at being a better mother, and when a few weeks later you said "I don't like myself", I stopped my impulse to tell you what you were and listened.
