Lesson Overview

22.31 – Dealing With Colorism or Eurocentric Beauty Standards: Colorism—favoring lighter skin tones or Eurocentric features—creates deep emotional wounds within communities. It teaches harmful messages that beauty and worth depend on proximity to whiteness. Challenging that mindset starts with recognizing where it comes from: colonial history and media bias, not truth. You deserve to see beauty in your own reflection—your skin tone, hair texture, and features carry history and strength. Unlearning colorism takes daily self-affirmation and compassion. Compliment others genuinely, especially where representation lacks. Support brands and media that show diverse beauty honestly. The goal isn’t revenge or comparison; it’s restoration—restoring dignity to every shade and feature. When you love your natural self loudly, you challenge an entire system quietly but powerfully. True beauty shines brightest through authenticity, not imitation.
