I was in awe of these women when I saw the Tyra show about skin bleaching! How could a beautiful woman burn her skin to try to make it darker? Be willing to go through a complete body skin graft, just to be lighter?? Are we serious ladies???? Why are these beautiful black women hurting themselves and willing to go through horrible procedures and side effecting to have lighter skin? And, it’s not just western African American women, but East Indian woman, and South African woman….
I believe that this all comes down to a lack of self esteem... When you are happy with whom you are, you exert that. When other people meet you, they see you as the confident person that you are.
But, let’s not be fake, because that does not help either. If you have some issues with the color of your skin, let’s get to the bottom of this, for I believe that it is more than skin deep! Why does it bother you when people say whatever it is that they say about you or your skin color? Is it something in the past that has been implanted in you and now you hurt yourself because of that? Well it can be uprooted! Do know, and you can see that you are fearfully and wonderfully made by God?! He did not make a mistake when He made you, and your skin!!!
I am very blessed as a chocolate color woman too, and having a very fare skin mother, who loves dark men, she always told me how beautiful my skin was. She said that she wished that she was my color, because as a young woman, she was made fun of for being yellow, tall, with thin legs. She was called big bird…
Well I’ve decided to dance to the beat of my own drummer! I take what society has to offer as far as fashion, what is in and what Is out, but I don’t receive it all. I am not a super thin woman, and I am not light skin. As crazy as it may seem to society, I am very happy being that way, because I am happy with Joyi (me)! That is what it is all about, become pleased with who you are, and if you don’t know how use 211. They will refer to a counselor who can help you toward your road to wholeness! My personal help is from the Lord. Read the bible, google the bible, try blueletterbible.org to find out what God thinks of you!!! Because He thinks that you are PHAT!! And the ultimate DIVA (Divinely Inspired and Victoriously Anointed!!) How can any human match what GOD knows about you???
