As a dark skinned woman, I ran in here like Usain Bolt! I’ve noticed that some people are bothered by me because my color doesn’t bother me and my tight coils don’t bother me. My brown skin suits my facial features, hair texture, shape, ALL of it. I see plenty of light skinned folks out here struggling, just like other folks. Their lighter skin isn’t making life easier for them or opening any doors that don’t open for me, so why would I covet what they have? People can’t project their insecurities on me or humble me.

Nasty work! And it can even be said that this applies in many other areas in life in general.

Reminds me of a time where a fake friend i had way back. This “friend” was on the phone talking to a guy who she was trying to hook up with one of her friends since he asked. She told him that I was there next to her but that I was fat though so idk if you want her. He said that’s mean as hell let me talk to her though, my fakeass friend said “you still wanna talk to her? She fat though… you don’t care that she’s fat?!” And he kept saying nah idc she sounds cute so she hands me the phone and we chat for all of one minute before she snatched the phone back mad as hell. I added him on FB. We became close friends and once we met he said I was prettier in person. 🤷🏽‍♀️😂 this “friend” punched me in the jaw for that but i ate that and still kept seeing the guy lmao. Me and her were never the same because she really couldn’t believe that she wasn’t the preference for once lmao.

i do agree the knee jerk reaction to claim that a dark skinned person is jealous is like a pocket knife. its an easy out. I also think there's no woman who could get away with "i hate the way that you walk, i hate the way that you talk ... etc " let alone repeating it. even with megan the stallion there were people still hanging on to nicki laughing that big foot was a hit and she's the ultimate troll. but i also feel that's reason enough that men need to step up and be better listeners because we can't defend ourselves alone especially online. black women are always the loudest and advocating for ourselves and dark skinned woman deserve better narratives besides being jealous. we have so much more to offer the world.

[@Brownmahfun]

Men don't/can't love or care. They only want, what they want. THE END.

[@mayowasworld]

I like how you framed it as a pocket knife becaus it’s true. And yup a black woman could never get away with those kinds of insults because she’d definitely be called jealous and bitter. I don’t really have much faith that men will come and step up because I think a lot of men benefit from the colorist system that’s already happening. But I get wishing things were different I just know not to wait for anyone other than us to help us

[@Skelekitten_]

I don’t think colorists realize, or care about, how lethal the “dark skin women are jealous” narrative is to the minds of Black youth. The immense hatred that dark skin children face causes them to feel that way about themselves and develop a horrific relationship with not just their skin but Blackness as a whole. An example of this is the movie Precious. Precious develops internalized antiBlackness towards dark skin people because she experienced colorism by pretty much everyone around her. She even imagines herself to be a blonde, blue eyed white woman when she looks in the mirror. (TW: mention of self harm) Between to constant colorist language used to describe dark skin people and the promotion of skin bleaching, Black children are extremely prone to self harm and unhealthy mentalities about themselves and their Blackness. Colorism is so wicked and the fact that it’s so normalized and even encouraged makes my heart break.

[@amenajackson8133]

Colorism against dark skinned people is vile and should be treated with the same seriousness as racism. Lawsuits should be filled and police reports made about colorism. Dark skinned people have got to stop allowing it to slide or believing society is right and something is wrong with them.

[@sonayabowie]

omg yesss the colorism is sick and you would've thought they would respect us since were the original women of this earth but no they let there hatred take over because they know we have beauty deep down especially biracial women.

your eye makeup made me think of little hummingbirds ❤ and thank you for this topic, as a dark south asian women I always say we owe black women so much for starting these conversations, because for us embracing dark skin and curly hair is waaaaaaay too recent and more of us were only influenced to start unlearning colorism and texturism through black women, not other desi people. thankfully that's starting to change! also THANK YOU for bringing up that double standard re kendrick's lyrics - I agree that men have more freedom to make remarks like that because their version of proximity to whiteness seems less focused on outer appearance and more about success/opportunities. Since everyone's conditioned to believe that competition between women is solely about attention from men - we're not allowed to comment on who is "closer to the culture," or who's "selling out" to gain accolades, those conversations simply aren't meant for us - the narrative defaults to being about jealousy. It's getting REALLY old lmfao

leave us alone. You dont owe us anything just because you guys have an identity crisis and you see yourself in black women. That's weird to me. Its not flattering so. Stop pandering. We didn't ask for that. Stop watching, studying us just so you can hijack and basically think you're us. Its weird.

You look absolutely gorgeous, I’m so glad you’re talking about this. The indifference I feel towards these people, because most beautiful dark skin women love ourselves completely. And I just cannot understand, if they’re so beautiful and confident, why do they keep constantly coming after us. It’s because we know we are beautiful inside, even without the approval of whiteness. And when you have that type of dignity and pride, no one can take that away from you. They are threatened that our ancestors lift us up, and we don’t need the approval of anyone else, in order to have pride and who we are, our hair texture, and our beautiful deep Melanated skin tone. I pray that the young girls understand, these so-called baddies , our just male focused.

Watching those clips was truly sickening, especially the one with those two women arguing. I don’t know them, but the language was horrid. I had to look up this Flo woman, and hearing a black person attack another with such hatred-using “Black” as an insult-was absolutely disgusting. What made it worse was learning that Flo has deeper-skinned sons yet spewed such vitriol over skin tone. Mayowa, keep having these conversations and igniting these discussions-they matter. I’ve learned so much from your insight over the years and have come to truly appreciate the importance of these topics. Also, your eyeshadow was stunning-the shades complimented you beautifully!

The funniest thing about the dynamic is that the locus of control is actually DSW. It’s artifice. The sliding scale of how privileged they (and all other women “above” them) are is solely determined on our relative position. We are the determining factor. If we don’t feel, act or get treated as the least preferred in any dynamic, the tantrum is immediate. Whether it’s the boy they like dating or even alluding to finding you attractive, if you’re the crowd fave/life of the party, if you’re smarter, if you earn higher, if you have an outfit that people compliment…you don’t even have to outdo them, just bet on the slightest hint that you could be equal or even distract the audience from them for a second…that’s when you see real envy.

I’m considered the darkest person among fellow black classmates/coursemate. Growing up i was used as examples by teachers and laughed at ( i can’t even remember the conversation now). I remember always being called out wherever i go as blacki (something they call darker shades in Nigeria) and it never felt like a compliment the look in their eyes felt mocking and people always have to point out how much darker i am in a conversation even if it didn’t call for it at all. A year ago a lecturer was finding the darkest person in our class (not for academic reason even) and my heart seized when ppl turn in my direction I thought this would be like secondary school all over again being laughed at like being darker is funny. Only for them to point a guy behind me. My heart was beating hard as he was told to stand and of course chuckled at and i was scared they would still call me to stand as I’m pretty sure I’m his shade. For the first time someone else was in my place and I didn’t know how to feel except sad for the guy. It havent happened again so far . But yeah being darker even among fellow dark skin people suck. Why just why can’t you not exclude me when we’re having a conversation by saying I’m very black, (why am i so dark, looking at me like am an alien )like i don’t have almost 2 decades of that knowledge. Sorry this message was very long but i felt it also needed to be said that even your fellow dark skinned people can discriminate for being a shade darker. ( not that the creator was saying this). Up till now i hardly found influencers my shade to inspire me but i love my skin really and wanna make it healthy looking and smooth.

If they deny it, then they can continue to benefit from it 😢

Ohhh weee I told my sister this I said why is everyone so thirsty over him ,the same for that man who mugshot was on the BET awards and taraji had to tell black women not to lust over a man in prison because his MUGSHOT looked so good like 🤦🏾‍♀️

[@dabigbitchhouse]

OMG LETS GET INTO IT!!!! BC I DONT SEE MR MUSFASA AS ATTRACTIVE AT ALL! I DONT care about his muscles, skin tone or eye color either….he’s not my type at all

[@Itcouldallbesosimple45]

Newly light skinned and light skinned for 5 to 10 minutes killed me 😂😂😂

[@MissOlympia2023]

I'm 47 & when I was 16, my mom joined a local African studies group. She took us with her to their meetings & we learned the facts about melanin, black history, and the ancient African excellence of our Ancestors. Since then, I have been anti-colorism. Colorism & racism are 2 evils that white people made up to excuse their immoral disrespect, exploitation, and abusive violence towards ✋🏿✋🏾✋🏽humans. The most beautiful women on 🌍 that I have ever seen are ✋🏿✋🏾black women. Some ✋🏽✋🏼black women are ignorant and secretly hate being black so they reject their own race & say idiotic 🐂💩 about other black women. I ignore the opinions of non-black women when they have the audacity to say anything about us black women. When we as a race learn to LOVE ourselves, the stupid, divisive colorism in our community will end. I taught my daughter (she's 16) to love herself since she was a baby. She confidently loves her skin color and her natural hair 🥰 Please always continue speaking out against colorism, racism, featurism, and texturism. Our community needs to hear those messages!

Sometimes I think that some people can’t live without talking about how one group of people is jealous of their features, skin, etc. As an Asian woman, I couldn’t care less. It’s like their pedestal will fall apart if someone isn’t jealous of them. Makes you wonder 😂

[@ellewild19]

You are gorgeous. I love your makeup, and the eyes are given what needs to be gave.

[@l-pv5793]

They think because they believe in racial hierarchies you believe it too😂 it’s embarrassing and sad that they have to cling to skin color to feel secure of themselve. Amara La Negra is stunning the other one just embarrassed herself

[@KA-vv6uv]

A quiet as kept... a lot of them are jealous of dsbw 🤐

[@MaisonMargiela-ch9co]

As a brown skinned black woman, trust we know. Don't dare be a DSBW that is actually confident in the way you carry yourself and how you look. They will hate you 10x more for knowing your attractive. I am in full solidarity with DSBW because I've seen it firsthand.

[@seritasampson5906]

This was brilliant and explained what it feels like so well being a dark skinned girl up against these things. Thanx for the video!! I love all of your makeup…especially your eyeshadow!

[@lifewithericajean]

Jealousy is definitely not the word to use. Dark sun women with confidence are a threat, because those who are lighter have been told and shown all their life that they are better. I think the words“ envy” and “ confusion” might be better to use. For example. Let’s be honest. Those in close proximity to whiteness get the bigger, better deals in life. It’s human to want those perks too. I am thankful most dark skinned women are not affected by this, but some are. Secondly, light skinned women get confused when dark skinned women with beauty and confidence- don’t wish to be light. Light and bright are not the only colors in the world. Thank you for this video, as always Mayowa!

[@sonayabowie]

exactly light skin women are just a disgrace at times...

[@thecryptoqueen215]

I wish the Rick Ross clip would’ve been like The Voice where they couldn’t see who was singing because there’s no way on God’s green Earth he thought that breathy, no melody, all over the place sing that lite skin girl made was better than the song the dark skin girl created! Like how did they even justify this n their heads?🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️

[@kemi1486]

Look at Aaron Pierre (that’s Mufasa), Black men can’t stand him just because he’s of lighter shade, with color light eyes and many women find him desirable. That clip with Rick Ross was hard to watch. You could tell they counted her out before she even opened her mouth.

[@belovedone94]

Yes true and it’s ignorant cause he is still a black man.

[@sonayabowie]

which is crazy because black men create light skin boys and people all the time...

[@AngeBiampandou]

I see more black women coming for Aaron Pierre than anything else especially the comparisons with hip and Skepta

[@citizencoy4393]

Love your eye makeup. It matches the art behind you. It’s great that there are ppl like you with a large following online to call this stuff out. We all see it but it is ignored bc of WHO it props up and who it puts down.

[@mzSte]

Like always, Such beautiful makeup 😻

[@mayowasworld]

Thank you so much!!

[@Intentionaltia]

6:10 Wtf she sounded amazing and better that Brit wtf.

[@tugotthejuice]

Your makeup is always fire, the red brings out your eyes ❤❤❤

[@alexbee3736]

The makeup look did not disappoint. It’s sad that a man like Rick Ross, who has a following and all that, can so callously dismiss that singer talents. It’s like she didn’t matter. That probably messed with that girl’s head for a long time. (I hope it didn’t but what went down was so cruel)

[@miospio]

I wonder where “Ms Valedictorian Mindset” is now tho…?

[@cxshtana]

Ahhh Mayowa your makeup is sooooo gorgeous here. You really ate that. It’s so soft but still has a nice pop of colour💗💗 I loveeee

[@angelahunter5954]

Dark skinned women just continue to disappoint them with your self appreciation of your lovely skin tone

[@arj3733]

The makeup is sooooooooo beautiful today, as always!!

[@gabriellehorace2289]

[@isaacmuth7097]

Tbh I love ur whole makeup look but I’m OBSESSED with ur brow shape!

[@Rawveganketo]

Just came here to say your hair is POWERFUL!! Beautiful, gorgeous!!❤❤

[@awazijaafaru7936]

This def reminds me of the ice spice & Cleotrapa conflict. A whole lotta projecting & displaced hate! N your makeup always looks sooo cutee ! You have the prettiest skin 😫🩷

[@MoNATUREnique]

I love the whole makeup look! It is beautiful. I wish your video was longer! I can listen all day!!

[@mayowasworld]

Aww thank you!!!

[@fearoffrying]

Thank you for putting it so well in just a few seconds. I feel like anytime I notice pride in proximity to whiteness, that's my cue to exit the relationship. It somehow always ends up with me getting hurt when my feelings and experiences get ignored or the person actively throwing me under the bus at some point because I'm an expendable dark skinned black woman. I hate that it gives me so much pause in who I can trust and build relationships and community with, but anyone with that mindset is not going to see my inherent value anyway, or if they do they want to stifle it because it makes them uncomfortable when I don't want to dim my shine.

[@Unicorn_galllll1]

I’m so grateful that you exist for real and I love how you always talk about this shit. Your channel is so amazing. Periodt.

[@kaiymariewalker8823]

[@sORrYiMLaTe_wHAtdiDiMisS]

We feel comfortable and happy being dark skinned in spite of what other complexions and races think. Summertime especially we really pop 😍

[@odettaclarke1535]

I like the eye makeup, Bless it💜💜💜

[@geemai435]

The eye make up!! I love it. The combo is just etherial...i love the red hue most. ❤

[@dajawnchriscross]

I haven't been on your channel in a bit but just wanted to thank you for your commentary and say you look amazing. Your locs are gorgeous and you were a huge influence in my own semi-free form loc journey two years ago. I believe you uploaded a video speaking on texturism in the black community regarding hairstyles and upholding proximity to whiteness. I reflected on my own insecurities and connections to colorism and made the leap to loc. It has been a truly freeing experience to remove those lingering thoughts and fully embrace my blackness. *** edit I found the video I was referencing. It was actually three years ago. “The hold laid edges has on the black community”

[@mayowasworld]

Aww thank you!!! I hope your loc journey is going well!!

[@CrownedxKay]

You’re so gorgeous and always come with refreshing POV that cut through the toxicity🤌🏾💞 and 11:44 - Haiti’s Flag is 🇭🇹 They just celebrated their Independence Anniversary this past month
