So proud of young sisters with this message, Im 40 and it took over 20 years to realize how gorgeous I was and always have been. A lot of times we already know that we’re beautiful, we just make the mistake of being around people who don’t wanna recognize our beauty for what it is. I had to cut off most of my family, and jealous friends, because being a beautiful sophisticated, educated and kind, dark skin, black woman, can really Disturb people’s mindset for some reason a lot of people build their life on the status quo, so when you’re winning as a dark, skinned woman, life almost seems unfair for them. I know it’s an oxymoron, but in reality a lot of these people have based beauty on skin tone, And when you show up and as a beautiful, dark skin woman, it throws off everything in their mind. I implore every dark skin black woman to work on their mind, because it starts with your mind before it starts with the physical. You must have control of your mind, and understand that this is a game, and the game has always been to make you feel small and worthless. But understand that if you change your mindset and know that you are the dream of your ancestors, and you deserve everything that you have, including your undeniable, beauty and blackness, you will win at this game of life with no apologies.🙏🏾👑
Notice how there’s no movies about a black girl in high school being the main character just living life and when i say black girl I don’t mean (lightskinned and loose curlyhaired girl with a white mom and black white washed dad) i mean black girl with melanin and afro. And if there is a black girl with afro in movies she either the main character for going through racism or she’s the “clown, ghetto friend” never just calm and just peaceful. And what I’m trying to say is that society wants people to think we can’t be vulnerable or calm or just soft. But that we have to be loud, ghetto, ratched and a clown to be accepted. And the worst is that that were not cute, sweet or just lovely in society. But we can be “hoes, bitches, sexy and seductive and never just modest and beautiful and a feminine woman. And it’s so sad how the music industry is just “lifting up this wicked assumption” by these black women that are rappers for example “sexy redd, flo milli and sukkihana”. I’m a black girl with afro and melanin and i just wanna tell y’all we’re going through the same thing in different places and that we’re not alone in this and the best thing we can do is to keep our natural beauty and keep on value it and if you haven’t done it start today. God has a plan for us and justice will be served in Jesus name.
You are so right. Although its good that other communities get to have their fair representation, we are often relegated to play the 'ghetto, trashy' roles and that is really unfortunate and is only representative of a small sector of the population.
I know there aren’t many western films that have Darkskin women as the main characters & although I’m get to see a film were the darkskin female lead is represented in the best possible way, a film very close to that is the South African series “Blood & Water” 💕 You should try watch it. As a south african woman it’s so refreshing to see 🙂↕️ edit: I suggested it bc you mentioned high school etc.
1:46 Yep! I did not understand why they had to be depicted this way. Afro Women are extremely feminine, yet this is not what hollywood allows to be seen by the masses.
Please can you keep making content like this, this is my first time coming across a content that promotes us loving our features without putting down another group, which is very Important. Please keep up it helps A LOT. Love this ❤
We have to love our looks first. I'm so proud of so many of my fellow dark skin gyals. Keep pushing!! Set boundaries that command the respect of others!
This is a thing yes. My daughter is biracial and people literally fail to realize that she has my features. Her dad, my husband, has flat pin straight hair, blue eyes, sharp cheekbones, etc. on the flipside our daughter has coffee brown eyes, wild beautiful fluffy curls, soft round cheeks, and a far away dreamy look in her eyes (my grandpa used to tell me I had dreams in my eyes 😢) I wonder who she got such features from 😂😂😂 not dad thats for sure.
@@ChocolateSquadChannel she's absolutely gorgeous. Healthy baby girl, she will be 2 years old this September. It's so strange seeing my eyes, my laugh, my facial expressions coming from this tiny little human 🤣🤣🤣
Thanks girlie, I just realised. As you commented this, I was trying to find out how to change it 😅. I don't this i can without getting rid of my horizontal one.
Big mamma was funny but she also represented the wise matriarch who was not to be trifled with. Nekia in black panther had short hair but she was also feminine and a credible romantic interest. We definitely need more diversity with the type of roles but maybe by celebrating what’s out there instead of only seeing the negatives we stand a better chance.
No one sees the Big Mama character in that light nor Nekia. What you failed to realize is that one character trait or character in a movie does not negate centuries of negative stereotypes about the dark and brown skinned BW. Your comment is basically gaslighting this entire video. So, your comment is very much not needed. It’s always other BW trying to keep other BW in the dark /oppressed. Do better!
@@books6000I failed nothing. The video referenced ‘Big momma’ and I’m pointing out that there was another, positive side to that character . I also agreed that more diverse roles are needed for DSBW. Please , if you a chip on your shoulder, go and take it up with someone else or at least try to understand what’s been said before telling people to do better🤦♂️
@@T.C556 I stand by what I said 1000%. I said you failed to realize which in that sentence meant comprehend what the video was about. Instead you chose to gaslight the creator and anyone watching and or reading the comments. You only want people to see your way or none at all; while failing to understand the point of the video is that dark skinned women are used has fodder or the joke and it wrong. The image of the fat dark skinned woman is deeply ingrained stereotype that needs to be corrected. A small content creator bringing light to this issue isn’t a time for a person like yourself to deny reality. No one said the character wasn’t funny or wise the entire premise of the video is to point out the obvious and overwhelming stereotype of dark skinned women in media. You commented I have a chip on my shoulder, I do not. You failed to realize that light or brown skinned women could be an ally to dark skinned women; that those women will go just as hard for DS women because of crass person like yourself try to gaslight them. I will forever stand up for dark skinned women against women like you. Yes do better because your gaslighting and fake concern/ advice is not needed you are not adding anything to the discourse but pettiness. SHAME … DO BETTER!
🩷🤍🦢🌷 I'm so proud of this new social generation of women who are protecting, rebranding, and reinventing their imagery and representation. Keep up the amazing work.
Dark girls use social media to your advantage. Post your beauty consistently.
Team 4C in our done up state.
Team dark chocolate living life in full.
Love this one!! You’re right Beauty is not a monolith. There’s so many different types of beauty and we need to elevate our type. 🙌🏾
Thank you!!❤️❤️
