I’m a mixed woman and I go to one of the best universities in the UK and (surprise surprise) the majority of people in this area/students are WHITE. My friends have received comments from white people like ‘there’s too many of these people here.’ And a group of white guys repeatedly called me and...
How come white people do not understand that racism still happen. When I tell my white friend about racism she say it doesn’t happen even though on the news it happening. There ignorance make me really sad .
Confession: I’m transitioning and it feels awkward for me to bring up the topic of hair around my white friends (its always been like that but now its even worse). I told all of my black friends that I was transitioning but not my white ones. One day when we were all together we started talking about hair and my black friends were telling me what transition styles I should try and my white friends were all confused. I told them I was transitioning and they all looked at me like I had two heads. So I went back to talking about hair with my black friends while my white friends were listening and taking everything in. One of my friends said I should get braids and one one my white friends goes “YOU WOULD LOOK AMAZING WITH BRAIDS!!!” Idk but i felt really awkward hearing her get enthusiastic about something she really has no idea about. And then out of the blue one of them asks “can I go with you when you get your hair transitioned??!!” All of us black girls gave her so much side eye before explaining it to her. Why is having white friends so freaking stressful?
Some things I just don’t talk about in front of folks if I know their reaction will upset me.

I remember being teased relentlessly throughout my childhood and my teenage life where people would say that because of my skin I’ll never be beautiful enough, they would even recommend skin bleaching products. So as a child I quickly realised that as a dark skinned girl I was not considered beautiful enough… At that time I didn’t know that it was the negativity from the people around me that was causing me to hate my skin and myself for that matter. I remember a time during school photos where a girl shouted “she’s too dark! You won’t see anything on her ID but her teeth!”, of course everyone laughed it out… And so did I…. Because I didn’t want to make it seem like I was offended… Their feelings felt more important than mine… After all growing up I was always reminded of how unlikely I was of ever being beautiful or finding someone that found my darkness beautiful…..
As a 19 year old today I sit here and say “I never gave in to skin bleaching”, “I was constantly reminded of how ugly I was but that only made me love myself even more….. I began considering myself as someone different, someone beautiful and out of the ordinary.”
Your skin no matter how dark it is that when you smile you can only see the glow of your teeth is worthy of love, your skin is that of a goddess and you should never feel anything about your skin but self love. I write this to all of the people that have gone through similar and worse, you don’t need to learn to Love your skin, the love is already there… You just gotta unleash it.
I would like to hear some stories of yours if you’ve ever gone through the same thing…. Message me on Instagram.
