In this episode, Nia Nexus breaks down the Nexus Ethereal Essence Scale — a modern evolution of John Kitchener’s Essence System. While Kitchener’s framework recognizes only one form of “Ethereal Essence” rooted mainly in Yang characteristics, Nia expands the conversation by exploring the full spectrum of ethereal beauty and how it shows up across diverse faces and cultures, especially among people of color. The Nexus Ethereal Essence Scale redefines what it means to be otherworldly, bridging aesthetics, identity, and representation in a way that’s never been done before.
