Make this pledge to yourself and pass it on.. It could change someone's life
I pledge to love myself and my skin color, no matter what society thinks of me. I should not be ashamed of who I am and I promise to encourage and up lift every girl of every shade of brown.

It's an issue that wreaks havoc among the African-American, Asian, Indian and Latin American communities. Colorism is the prejudice or discrimination against individuals with a darker skin tone, typically among people of the same ethnic or racial group. It’s the principle that those with lighter, fairer skin are treated with a higher regard than those with darker skin and it’s taking a toll on females all over the world. Girls are being teased over the fact that they are darker than “average ” person.
As females we need to rise above what society views of us. Be something more than a skin color. Don't let what people say make you feel any different about yourself You Are Beautiful and You Are Worth It |
