I watched a documentary on skin bleaching in Jamaica yesterday and I never would’ve thought them out of all people would downgrade having a dark complexion😭that was shocking

why

Abby ! Because when Jamaica is brought up on movies/shows the dark skin color is mainly what they’re praised for other than the food and music

You are blessed with intelligence and a purpose with your music.

jamaica has an underlining issue when it comes on to colorism the lighter the skin the higher the social mobility, these taboos are stemmed from pre-independence and slavery days so sad we have not progressed as a nation.
