Let’s talk about the misogynoir happening on Love Island. Olandria and Chelley—two feminine, confident, dark-skinned Black women—are being dissected under a microscope. Every move, every glance, every normal human emotion becomes a debate. Meanwhile, others on the island move with freedom and are given grace without the same level of scrutiny. This isn't just about reality TV. It’s about how dark-skinned femininity triggers insecurity, competition, and discomfort #LoveIsland #Olandria #Chelley
