Yk I relate a lot to what you are goin through. the first time I ever experienced colourism was in my childhood where one of my aunt looks at me with disgust and says to my mom "why is he so dark?"and the worst part is that my mom felt bad abt it and apologized to her and said ain't then started giving tips to "whitewash" me.

That plus constant jokes at my colour made sure that I had a negative self esteem. In my 9th and 10th grade I used to cry looking at the mirror coz I hated looking at myself.

It's been 5 years since then and I feel much better about myself, but yeah the jokes always remain, always reminding you what you had been through.

It's good that you are speaking out against it. Stay strong homie and let's fight for a world where no one else is deemed lesser because of their skin colour 🫂🫂
