Dear Light Skinned...Dark Skinned (Adults): Overcoming racism in our race!

What is Colorism? Where did it come from? Why is it still here? What is its purpose? Light Skinned? Dark Skinned? If you are like me then you have probably asked this question or all of them at some point. Can you imagine someone telling your daughter, "they do not do light skinned?" The look on our faces and the feeling in our hearts agreed, what exactly did this mean? This question forced me to look within, to look back, and begin to strategize on how to move forward. The research I found left me disappointed, angry, sad, and mad all at the same time. How does one word, racism, get to spread hatred into another race? And better yet how long does one allow that thing to continue to divide us long after the seeds have been planted and watered? They say insanity is doing the same thing over and over yet expecting different results. You often hear "Light Skinned Privilege and Dark-skinned pain!" In this book you will first be asked to look within yourself, as this is where change begins. Then we will go back through our history to learn where colorism originated. Lastly, how we can begin to heal and move forward in unity. And maybe afterwards you will be forced to decipher if light skinned really was a privilege disassociated with pain. Or does the various shades and tones of your skin truly exude the beauty and power hidden within! We are better together.
