‘My One Prayer to God Was That I Would Wake Up Lighter Skinned’ – Lupita Nyong’o Talks Skin Color Issues at Essence Event

Ugh, this made me tear up a little. In the age where bleaching and using creams like Denicia’s Whitealicious  is an acceptable form of becoming ‘beautiful’ for chocolate skin men and women, Lupita Nyongo gives a moving talk about her former skin color insecurities and how seeing women like Alec Wek changed things.  A must watch.
