#combat colorism

Okay bitch, lemme tell you why i love black representation in media, because I AM BLACK. Imma support any non problematic black person.

Now let me tell you why i love to see dark skin representation in media, BECAUSE I AM A DARK YOUNG WOMAN.

That being said I look like dark ladies in media, i just do not look like the lighter skin women who are mainly represented in media. When there's only a few dark skin women who pop up every now and then in the media, i feel underappreciated and as if only one type of representation is acceptable. This is the problem of colorism. Point. Blank.

There is awareness about colorism but i still see it everywhere. So if you still don't understand you're just not going to at this point. Thank you.

with all the current events going on in the country, as well as the world, don’t forget that you are beautiful, strong, and independent. don’t let society force to hide yourself, and make you into a whitewashed image of you. now more than ever, us pocs need to embrace who we are.
