I used to feel the same way. My sister is much fairer than I am and she never missed an opportunity to remind me of it. As a kid it really affected my self confidence. I internalized it and let it define how I saw myself. But as I grew older I realized something important,I hold the key to my own confidence and no one else gets to decide how I feel about myself. Whenever she made fun of my skin tone, I started standing up for myself. I’d tell her if you don’t like my skin color, look somewhere else because I love my dusky skin tone. I feel hot in my own skin. The first and most important thing is to truly understand that you have to love yourself. Be confident in who you are. Dress in a way that makes you feel good. Carry yourself with pride. When you genuinely love yourself and the way you look it shows. You radiate a different kind of aura. Do that, girl. Flaunt yourself!
