I'm one of the darkest ones in my family so it took me a while to accept my color.
You know how the media has brainwashed us. So in my family, Mostly everyone is light brown to -high yellow . The funny thing is is that I actually was attracted to dark skin . But for me; being a medium brown didn't sit all that well. It wasn't until I got older , moved to a more black school and started getting compliments as I hit puberty did I really appreciate that my color was okay.
And Fast forward to now I really went on a journey to find that inner love within myself that I needed. We are all so beautifully made truly and honestly.
But once I researched the meaning of melanin , embraced black culture more , and studied black history ; I really became proud of being on the darker side of the scpectrum. They're something so rich and silky looking when you see dark skin. You see it and think; a lot of extra love and tender car was needed to create a color so smooth.
And it's true it is.
So you can now see me in hawaii laid up under the sun getting DAWK LMAO!
