Wow this is really great, this piece reminds me of a book i read years back The Bluest Eyes by Toni Morrison.

Seeing how society has created certain standards for beauty is alarming, makeup artist here would prefer to use a light skinned model for a makeup session or for a photoshoot because they believe the makeup will pop very well if the model is light skinned.

If there's one thing I hate so much is seeing people bleaching, you'd see a very fine light skinned girl with burnt knuckles, burnt elbows, burnt toes and the list is endless.

I pray people begin to accept themselves for who they are and that is the only way that we can move forward.
