90 Day Fiancé‘s Mahogany says no to photo filters. It may seem like an easy stance to take, but not so much for women in the social media eye. It has become quite commonplace for people to soften and manipulate their looks through photo filters. The real reason behind it is a tad bit deeper than one might think. The use of filters stems from insecurity. The desire we all feel to be more wanted. But it sets an unfair standard.
Moreover, that is the exact point that Mahogany is making. And the best way to make it is to do it. She openly speaks out about the perils of filters and the pressure that social media puts on young and older women alike.

“A year after debuting on the spin-off, 90 Day Fiancé‘s Mahogany Roca is now sharing why she felt the need to use Photoshop for her pictures and admitted that she’s no longer supporting the use of filters. Mahogany said, “When I was a 20-year-old girl I was…contaminated in the world of social networks where Photoshop was popular.” Mahogany had this notion in her mind that she needed to change her “appearance.” However, two years after being addicted to Photoshop, she now decided to quit editing her pictures following a “really bad experience.” The 90 Day Fiancé franchise star is now “terrified” to use photo filters because she is so proud of herself and prefers to be herself. Mahogany also posted a photo comparison on Instagram with the caption, “That’s not me, don’t believe in social media,” to show how she looks with and without filters.”
90 Day Fiancé‘s Mahogany says no to photo filters. It’s actually a very commendable route she’s taken. So many people who are in the public eye overuse filters. So much so, that actually seeing some of these people in real life can be a shocking difference. Social media has put such sick standards onto beauty and onto women in general. We hope by her saying this she reaches other young women who may be suffering from similar things. We have said it before, and we’ll say it again:
Mahogany is one of the good ones.
