Sophia Hadjipanteli is a 21-year-old model, and since people are asking for confirmation, yes, she has a unibrow. And she's proud of it. Why shouldn't she be?

Sophia proudly embraces her signature brow, nicknamed "Veronica," and was inspired by her family and Greek heritage. She told New York Magazine, "They had a unibrow, like, no problem. It wasn't even a thing. That's what inspired me."




The University of Maryland marketing graduate confronted the stigma associated with hirsute models, referring to insults like "disgusting" or "gross."

"What is disgusting about hair on your face? Or anywhere?" she challenged her critics.



The Daily Mail elaborated on her rebellious youth growing up in Cypress before immigrating to America.

Ever since I was little I've always been quite different, just either my style or the way I acted.
I was always on my own in terms of school and growing up. I was very quirky and with all of that I just wanted to push some sort of boundary.
I did this before anyone really knew who I was really and it was nothing to do with getting attention or anything like that.




That built-in confidence allowed her to forge her own path in the industry, and it's paying off. Fans immediately gravitated toward her unconventional way of challenging beauty norms with her bushy brows. She's amassed more than 160,000 Instagram followers since making headlines.

I've always been known to change my look and do whatever I really wanted. And I guess that sort of stubbornness and rebelliousness has made me do literally whatever I want.

It wasn't always easy. She's had her struggles as well.



She's emotionally in a much better place.







Ignorance was still rampant on Twitter, where users called her "absolutely horrific looking" and "Yeah the reason we don't progress is because of unibrows."

But others supported the model and combated the ignorant comments.



She encouraged others who feel different not to give in to the negativity.

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
