How Can We Heal from the Shades of Colorism? | Dr. Sarah L. Webb | TEDxUofISpringfield

[@gemsxgabby2534]

If everyone could just sit down and take 10 minutes to listen to this! Imagine the impact. Thank you Sarah!

[@HarmoniTinyHomes]

Great work, Sis! So many do not want to talk about colorism but perpetuate it daily through their thoughts, words, and actions. I came here to find a video to educate a loved one about their colorist behavior. Thank you.

[@JEarls90]

Colorism feels like racism with extra steps.

[@charlyb9194]

That’s pretty much what it is

[@JEarls90]

@@charlyb9194 its just so weird that in a world where we have magnitudes of reasons to hate one another we get tripped up on skin color.

[@kashishlewis3509]

I am so so proud to see you here @ColorismHealing I am... overwhelmed. I have always been inspired, amazed and totally blown away by your live sessions, videos and posts on Instagram. I discovered self-care, love and strength in me through colorism healing and I'm just so happy to see it grow and touch so many more lives.

@Starwarsbattlefront2player Justafan it’s throughout the video you have to wear headphones

[@frenchantonio1]

Great. She's alive and speaking truth! A respectable mantle to carry. 🙏🏾

[@charlyb9194]

How tf does skin tone determine beauty as if all light skin people are pretty by default....

“Where does it end?” This part ☝🏾 This whole talk is just *chef’s kiss*

[@stg8385]

KZbin lo

[@ladyofspa]

Agree where does it improve. Zero solutions. I say we gather for only healing and celebration, not more begging

[@TeeInTuition]

@@ladyofspa Fighting for fair treatment isn’t begging 😂😂😂

[@selfhealer8589]

This! Everything 💜thank you Sarah

[@stg8385]

No

[@biancachandler_]

Amazing!

[@kasandimulaa9999]

I love this!

[@ladyofspa]

Dark girls unite! You are beautiful powerful wise, Gods delight.

[@ladyofspa]

Relistening to this... really need to seperate, gather and begin to heal collectively. Re-education is required and solving our own problems.

[@aspaceprincess]

yes! thank you

[@candicewilliamsurbyeducati1977]

Well stated.

[@mimiscoo1173]

[@prophetessmarie9742]

I’m Pakistani and the only dark skin person in a family of all white skin and yes my first place to suffer discrimination was my own home.

[@tanealiawizzard6291]

This was lovely ♥️

[@tiapalla]

Does anyone know the song "breath" that she mentioned around the end? I was looking for it but I didn't manage to find it.

[@issaread5937]

I love you so much!🤎

[@BrownCookieBoy]

​@Asa Jonathan ​ @Drew Sebastian Shut up bots.

[@BrownCookieBoy]

Why do people want to get a tan if lighter skin is "better"?

[@zzkyehiigh]

Lolol because a tan is a status symbol and impermanent (also based in the fetishization of darker skin, not the respect of it)

[@kekoakaawa8879]

It’s usually white people who want a tan. And even when they do tan, they don’t usually do it with the intention of getting dark, just a golden glow.

[@downtownbun]

It is clear watching this video that she was not going to be a heartbreaker, but it certainly was NOT her dark coloring.

[@frenchantonio1]

Perhaps her brains! A lot of people are intimidated by an intelligent woman. Maybe that's what led you to comment? Then again I don't want to assume you have an ego so fragile that you would fix your digits to slight someone covertly. Feel free to google whatever isn't clear for you by the way.
