Remember Your Worth: "Ee'da's Fade to White:"

I want to make sure you understand this video: "Ee'da fade to White" Enlightening spoken word piece on color consciousness by Ee'da.

 

Many Black women - just like the Indians and other Asians women- spend a lot of money to lighten on their skin.Why... ? I like black women with light skin color. Why..? Unfortuateley, here is an ideology that being dark-skinned in "bad" and light skin is "good". These standards were established during the slavery period of American History, and that ideology continues to
make it difficult for people who are dark skinned.

But Deep love and gratitude for yourself for you who are. To appreciate, love yourself the way Ee'da tells us to on her spoken words. I've never known this artist nor her genious. her video reminds me that bleaching that people do to try and look whiter is bad, because it alters natural state; it is sad also, because it lowers your self-concept and self-esteem. Remember your self-concept evaluates your self worth !

 

Beauty comes in all colours and shades ideals.Nobody should ever try to be somebody that they are not, try to fit society's standards of beauty, only what they themselves really are.Sometimes I try to see things from different perspectives. Beauty is beauty.It doesn't matter if you're white, black, yellow, purple, blue, what ever! I know how frustrating it can be, everyone judges everyone for no reason.
 In my opinion black people bleaching their skin is a form of self hatred, Black people should be proud of their skin.
