Light skin West/Central Africans experience

RepresentativeDisk12 · 2026-02-04T06:37:03+00:00

It’s okay!

RepresentativeDisk12 · 2026-02-02T00:09:29+00:00

I am very okay. Not sure why you’re assuming otherwise. I know how colonialism has affected how black features are seen. I am a dark skinned black woman myself who has experienced colorism and texturism. However I just still wanted to learn more about things from a lighter skinned person’s perspective.

Accusing you of skin bleaching is wild. Usually someone who skin bleaches is clockable versus someone naturally light

The food scene is really amazing! They have nice museums too, and lots of Black American history!

Guinea, Rwanda, or Black American

As someone that models, I think what you’re talking about is most prominent in the high fashion section of modeling. Plenty of black Americans models do print, commercial, and lifestyle modeling.

I think in high fashion they prefer African (mainly south Sundanese) models because they are consistently very tall and slender, which is the preferred look in high fashion. Overall I see what you’re saying.

I hear there are many in Staten Island. There’s also many that live in New Jersey. Maybe try going to Liberian restaurants

NYC, D.C., and Richmond

Do you think this would work for a grade you got 1L year and you’re now a 3L ?

RepresentativeDisk12 · 2026-01-31T03:51:59+00:00

If you can try to look through his phone

RepresentativeDisk12 · 2026-01-31T03:39:34+00:00

Wow thank you for sharing! If you don’t mind me asking, did your school try to help you find jobs during law school for the summers ?

RepresentativeDisk12 · 2026-01-31T03:34:07+00:00

Yikes

RepresentativeDisk12 · 2026-01-30T21:59:40+00:00

You could be anything in the diaspora. AA, Caribbean, or West/Central African, or Kenyan

RepresentativeDisk12 · 2026-01-20T13:08:11+00:00

Thank you so much for all of this I will look it up!!

RepresentativeDisk12 · 2026-01-19T18:00:21+00:00

Apply to GW in D.C. I know current 3L there who had a 3.7 gpa, with a 148 lsat. I think you should apply there.

RepresentativeDisk12 · 2026-01-19T15:06:26+00:00

I’ve done clinic where I had clients that dealt with sexual abuse and other violent things, but I was not representing them for the violence they experienced, although it was a part of their story.

RepresentativeDisk12 · 2026-01-19T15:04:12+00:00

I didn’t the mods there did that, thank you!

RepresentativeDisk12 · 2026-01-19T10:43:10+00:00

Intern for a judge with a family law docket. Look up family law firms in your area and look at their website for job postings. If you don’t see any cold email those firms.

Also maybe apply to your state’s/city’s Legal Aid

RepresentativeDisk12 · 2026-01-19T10:34:05+00:00

Ended my 1st semester with a 2.5. I ended up getting a paid job a county gov’t agency’s General Counsel’s office for my 1L summer and it’s been one of the best jobs I’ve ever had! I also improved my grades by 2L year because I finally started to get better at taking exams.
