So, you automatically know that you’re gorgeous, fly and fierce you are no matter what size or shade you are. It’s a simple fact! It does not matter what any other person thinks or even says about your stunning beauty. As long as you know your worth and flyness, you dictate how others view you as well! As girls of color we sometimes seem divided by our sizes, hair texture, backgrounds and yes, even different shades. We all can turn on the TV and may see that different skin tones are embraced more in media.
The film’s directors Bill Duke & Channsin Berry covers the separation that some girls have with overcoming having darker skin tones in their movie “Dark Girls.” Berry said, “When Bill called me with the idea of a documentary about dark-skinned women, I was in right away. Being a dark-skinned Black man, like Bill, I have gone through similar traumas. Being separated and discriminated against by our own people. It stifles your self-esteem. Bill and I shared our similar experiences and immediately understood that we knew the best way to approach this.”

As young females, there is so much pressure to fit into the perfect box of what everyone considers “beautiful.” Make up, clothes, diets are just a few things we do to create the “perfect” look not to impress ourselves but others. From how you rock your hair to how much you weigh even the complexion of your gorgeous skin tone, the media makes it difficult to accept and embrace the beauty you naturally have. Even though we all have days where we might second guess our looks it’s important to realize that your true flyness comes from inside. Yeah, I know you heard that a million times but it’s true!.You’re gorgeous on the outside but what truly makes you stunning is being able to offer your talents, sharp mind, and creative ideas to the world.
