MELANIN GOODNESS Samuella Amoako-Boateng

There is a very common adage which I know we have all heard; "Love The Skin you are In". The Black Community have been under attack from the days of slavery and whether we choose to accept it or not, we are still in some type of slavery and we are in one way or the other still look up to 'massa" to approve our culture before we get comfortable with it. We modern day melanin goddess choose to stay woke and love our skin and also we want to educate our fellow "unwoke" no shade or pun intented sistas to love their skin. Your Melanin is God-given and God doesn't make mistakes, also you don't have to have a  lighter skin-tone, or be mixed race to be beautiful, don't let the "massa"  controlled media fool you. Break the unseen bondage you are in, you are beautiful the way you are, your skin tone is to die for, folks stay in the sun and sleep in man-made tanning beds just to look like you! HOW DARE YOU cry about how your skin look, Put those Bleaching Creams and Pills DOWN! You are Gorgeous in the skin you are in! 
    Look around you, your melanin sister are breaking barriers, Look at Naomi Campbell, Duckie Thot, Chanel Iman,  Eva Marcille  Tomiko Fraser, Tyra Banks et.al They made it work in the skin they are In; of-course they had limitations, they had challenges but they  never told themselves they cannot do it. They pushed through and overcame their so-called limitations and set the bar high. Your Fellow sistas are breaking barriers in a skin-tone they  were told made them look less attractive, so what is your excuse? Love yourself, Love your skin, afterall "Black they Say NEVER EVER CRACKS"  Rock your Crown Queen... Until next time 
                                  XOXO,
