Annamaria Olsson
Founder of Stories from the Beauty Parlor, a platform using the $690B beauty industry to fund feminist grassroots work. In times of anti-feminist backlash, the project turns beauty into resistance — through joy, storytelling, and solidarity. From Berlin to Tbilisi, beauty parlors become spaces of connection, care, and political awakening.
