This colourism nonsense needs to stop!

Guys, it's so sad that in this day and age we still think being light-skinned is a selective advantage. Yani today, with the saddest look on her face, my friend's kid asked me why she's not as beautiful as her sister because she's not as light as her. This kid is 9 years old. Guys, our ancestors can't be colonized alafu sisi pia tucoloniziwe. Let's be serious. Africans tunaweza mbaya. Our skin glows, our hair defies gravity. We can have braids today, cornrows tomorrow and straightened hair next week. These Eurocentric standards of beauty that we choose to keep and fight each other over, just make us look like clowns. Our kids deserve better.
