This skin lightening cream that you talk of in the above video, in my opinion, is evident of this. The overall message in this skin lightening cream is that Black women are not desired and therefore not beautiful. In order for us to be beautiful we have to lightening our skin. It is so disappointing and detrimental to the self-esteem and self-confidence of girls and women who don't see the value in the dark/brown skin that God has given them. We have such a long way. Despite all this, I have renewed hope in the work that continues to be done (like yours) that counter that argument and message, because dark/brown girls are BEAUTIFUL!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13032740872265072274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5604346347436698973.post-49340544152477895402012-04-22T10:24:32.312-04:002012-04-22T10:24:32.312-04:00Congratulations!
