    Yam On It is back, and in our first episode of 2021 we discuss the Unibrow Movement, Buy Now Pay Later schemes and infographics. Last month, Dazed came under fire for forecasting Unibrows as a trend for 2021, using a photo of Greek Cypriot model Sophia Hadjipantel, founder of the Unibrow Movement. We yam on the impact of western beauty trends and the significance of the unibrow in South Asian and Middle Eastern culture. We also discuss how lockdown and growing up has us embracing our natural beauty. This week, it was announced that Buy Now Pay Later schemes such as Klarna would have to be regulated by the FCA. We discuss the dangers of these schemes to young people, and how users can unknowingly rack up debt. Finally, infographics have been all over everyone’s feed in the past year - but at what cost? We yam on the dangers of social media posts replacing news and activism, as well as the positive side of infographics. Music: Pandaraps - Big Logo by Maira Mughal and Darcie Hucks
