BLACKWASHED

Blackwashed is a podcast featuring four unapologetic black ladies talking about any and everything. This Tumblr is mostly run by J, so opinions do not necessarily reflect those of the other ladies.

You gotta love the dark skin when it's not airbrushed, when the lighting ain't perfect, when the girl ain't Lupita, and you're not scrolling on Tumblr. Otherwise, you're just fetishizing it.

“I come from a favela in Brazil. I am black. I have a poor family. Yet, despite all those odds, I became a ballerina. I had to get by on my own [upon arriving in New York at the age of 19 on a full scholarship to the Dance Theatre of Harlem]. That’s when I grew up and learned to appreciate what my parents taught me. I’m not here [at Dance Theatre of Harlem] because I’m poor. I’m here because of my dancing.” —Ingrid Silva

No amount of great sex, great personality, great food, great looks or anything else will keep a man faithful if he doesn’t want to be.

[medblrlove-deactivated20160516]

So stop letting men manipulate you into thinking you have to achieve some level of godly womanhood to be worth their time.
