Re: Re: Caring for Skin : How to Lighten Black Skin

This is a video-poem that i decided to do for y'all. It was during a time that I was feeling a little.. inferior to other women, but then realized that i needed to love who i am, and not be so concerned with the world's standard of beauty. So here is the poem I wrote called, That Girl. You can follow along just in case you can't hear what I'm saying in the video. Enjoy ; )

I, am not the "hott girl"
No, I would never claim that
I am however, a sexy, natural beauty
Only few can capture my essence
I, am like golden sunlight
I shine like the moon
I, in fact, am quite native
Partly exotic, viewed from a distance with no close contact
No one can beat who I am
No one will overbear my personality
There aren't many like me in the world
So here's to me you all
I am, Soleil*
I, am one of a kind
I, am not easy to find
They stare and they gawk as they watch me walk by
They gasp as i give them a subtle look
They are quite dazzled by my stride, and my confidence
They want, they just have to get to know me
But not just ANY guy can break through my wall
If you like a challenge, give me a try
Although in most all cases, you will lose
I, am That Girl
And I am never threatened...
By you.

PLEASE take that into consideration BEFORE commenting and/or finishing the video or something! lol THANK YOU!!

@ScholaroftheDay21  its a video RESPONSE !!!.SHE not sayin u shud bleach ur skin......

[mummycee]

each to their own ...as black women we need to stop judging each other over personal choices,if my sister wants to look fairer DONT HATE because some things are more to whats on the outside.we cant force each other to love dark skin...its fair to love it yourself and be proud ,but its wrong to put another sister down for choosing different from oneself............just my opinion,theres more to being a woman than the colour of your skin sisters
