“Why do dark skinned girls feel the urge to remind us everyday…?” – DivaLenore

Co-founder of “BrightenMi” cosmetic brand, Divalenore, took to her Facebook account to address all dark skinned girls who constantly send her messages to remind her of their dark “melanin popping” colour.

She Wrote:

“So I get this crap all the time.I’m sitting minding my business and someone feels they have the right to send this crap!

Why do dark skinned girls feel the urge to remind us everyday that their melanin is popping?I mean if you know it’s popping why are you constantly reminding us?Or are you reminding us of your insecurities???

We don’t see light skinned girls captioning their pictures all the time saying “Light skin popping”
Why the extra hard work by browner girls to show they’re proud of their skin?
And these women are so beautiful with sadly such low self esteem.Everybody is beautiful for crying out loud!

Okay your melanin is popping!!!We get that.
Next….”

The big question we have for all MGP Readers is: Do you think dark skinned girls should stop reminding light skinned girls of their skin colour superiority and the richness of their melanin composition?
