This year and forever more, we are saying goodbye to shadeism and respectability politics that place higher value on having lighter skin. No more will we perpetuate racism through our rhetoric and internalized beauty beliefs and behaviors. Moreover, we will not tolerate the celebration of “tanned skin” only in the Summer because it suits the dominant aesthetic. Our Black and Brown skin is beautiful all year round. And that’s that on that. 👩🏽👩🏾👩🏿✨#psychologyofbeauty #respectabilitypolitics #melaninpride #blackisbeautiful #shadesofbeauty
