Africans are so unique.
The uniqueness can be seen in all their activities.
Take it or live it,our black skin is our pride.
In recent times,some black skinned Africans have resorted to the use of bleaching products to whiten their skin.
Research has proven that it is due to low self esteem,they feel being fair will boost their confidence in them selves and make them more beautiful and acceptable.
Well,to an extent,they are right but not totally right.
The problem lies in letting the society define beauty for them.
What exactly is beauty?
Beauty should radiates from the inside.
A confident woman is a beautiful woman,white or dark.
Shout out to all those black ladies who have refused to use skin lightening products on their skin.
In Nigeria,some celebrities refuses to change their skin colour notwithstanding their fame.
Shout out to actress Ini -edo , Uche jumbo,Genevieve Nnaji,etc who refuses to change the tone of their skin,who refuses to give in to societal influences.
As much as everyone is an adult and have the right to do whatsoever with his or her body,it has been proven that the dark skin is quite immune to some skin diseases.
Then again,why undergo the risk of skin cancer disease?
I tell you,at the end,the effort is not worth it at all.
Now show some love and drop a comment,thank you.
