Colorism has always been a problem in the modern world where for a lot of people both male and female, the lighter skinned a person is, the more desirable they are.
There are a lot of conversations about how people choose who to partner with based on their complexion. There are also so many cultures that actively promote a lighter complexion as more desirable. There are many songs, advertisements, TV programmed and films which promote that the lighter skinned a person is, they are not only more desirable but they are also considered more beautiful, more talented, have better attributes and qualities. This understandably has caused a lot of inferiority in people and some have taken extreme measures to attain this desired complexion. Yet there are also so many people who make a conscious decision to delight and glory in their dark skin. Ironically, these days, more naturally light skinned people are doing everything to darken up their skin. These are the issues we’re discussing tonight on the MungalowCroonings Show. All views and lived examples are welcome. Join us tonight at 8pm GMT where we try to dig into and discuss this issue and maybe find a happy balance in body acceptance. Looking forward to seeing you!Tuesday, 28 December 2021
