Kanye West & Bianca Censori’s Red Carpet Moment: Empowerment or Expl0itation?

Kanye West showed up to the Grammys’ red carpet with his wife Bianca Censori wearing what is being called “the invisible dress.” Every part of her body was on display for the world to see.

I couldn’t sleep last night after seeing the footage -something was chilling about it. It hit home because I know what it feels like to be on public display- fully seen by strangers and yet completely unknown. T
