Colorism: Why Preferring Light Skin—Even Without Disrespecting Dark Skin—Is Still a Problem

Today on Fly Nubian Money we’re discussing a topic that has been with us for too long—colorism. Whether it's out in the open or more subtle, colorism continues to affect Black women in 2024. It influences how we’re portrayed in the media, how we’re treated at work, and even how we experience our personal lives. It's not just about how others see us but also about how it shapes how we see ourselves. To truly understand colorism, we have to recognize its deep roots in both racism and sexism. It’s a conversation we can’t afford to shy away from. So today, we're discussing the ongoing harm caused by colorism and how we can push back. We want to hear what you have to say on the topic, so join us today on Fly Nubian Money.
