Smart & Spicy | Trop claire ou trop foncée ? On parle de colorisme avec ma mère et ma grand-mère

In this episode of Smart & Spicy, I talk with my mother and grandmother about our experiences with skin color. Three generations. Three skin tones. Three ways of being perceived, treated… and of building our identities. We talk about colorism, what we were told, what we internalized, the differences in experience within the same family, and the path to self-acceptance. An honest, sometimes uncomfortable, but necessary conversation. Tell me in the comments: Has your relationship with your skin color been influenced by those around you or your environment? #SmartAndSpicy #Colorism #BlackWomen #Representation #Identity #SocietyTalk #Debate #PodcastFR Academic References & Books The Color Complex: The Politics of Skin Color Among African Americans — Kathy Russell, Midge Wilson, and Ronald Hall Don’t Touch My Hair — Emma Dabiri Colonialism and Beauty: A Critical Race Feminist Philosophy of Freedom — Shatema Threadcraft Research & Concepts The term “colorism” was popularized by Alice Walker Sociological works on colorism and skin hierarchies — Margaret Hunter Works on race, representation, and minorities in France — Pap Ndiaye Documentaries Dark Girls — Bill Duke and D.
