the worst beauty misconception dark girls are fed is that they can’t experiment with their look
you can go as loud as you want
or keep it simple
stick to the neutrals
or go on all out galaxy chic
go out sultry
or go out sweet
cause your skin is so versatile
that there’s no such thing as “the right colour”
be a goddamn mermaid if you like
dress down
or up
go natural
or not
you’ll still look flawless
so go ahead and shower in gold
or do nothing at all
cause at the end of the day
you’re still a queen
You wanna talk representation? Before Tumblr, I never experimented with color, hair or makeup-wise. I’d heard too many people correlate black women and bright colors as ‘ghetto’. Posts like these are So important. So incredibly important.
This black out day,i would like to appreciate myself.Each picture represents something about me i have grown to love now on my own,even though at a younger age people made me feel either bad about it,or expremley uncomfortable/weird.
My moms side of my family is full of thin,curvy women w/ hips&my dads side theyre shorrt & very thick with wide hips..well i got a mix of both.
Ive had a somewhat body since like maybe the fifth grade and i remember vivdly when ever someone would tell me i had a big butt how embarassed i would get,or when they pointed out how big my hair was and they would all joke about it.
Everygirl had straight or wavy hair,very simplistic and always very neat and in place.
Everygirl had a skinny body&no butts.
When the other girls went shopping they didnt have to worry about weather or not their butt was gonna fit in the new jeans they wanted.
I did.
I just wanted to be like everyone else..but i dont anymore,ITS BORING.
I cant imagine life without my curls.
I cant imagine life without curves.
I cant imagine life being anything but an ethiopian.
I cant imagine life as another race but being black.
HAPPY BLACK OUT DAY AND I HOPE YOU LOVE YOURSELF AND I HOPE YOU’RE HAPPY IN YOUR SKIN! XOXO
