Queen of the Dark
A country with people so dark you won't believe your eyes.. skin so rich and teeth so bright.
Gosh how I love my country my people and everything that come with it.. I was ask my uber driver the other day he said, don't take this offensive but if you were given 10 thousand dollars would you bleach your skin for that amount?
I couldn't even respond I started laughing so hard.
Than he said so that a no and I was like hell to the f*king yeah that a no, why on earth would I ever bleach this beautiful melanin God bless with me.
Than he said so you look at it as a blessing?
I just you won't believe the kind of questions I get and the kind of looks I get for having black skin.
She has since gone viral for sharing the post and the experience with people giving her the nickname of "Queen of the Dark".
She has also said of her look: "My skin absorbs the suns rays and my hair defies gravity.
Now you can’t tell me I’m not magical!”She has also gone on to write in a poetic way how she feels about her skin, such as in this post:
Dear my moonshine dark skin, sun kissed complexion, burn skin or whatever they might call you, You are beyond beautiful and the love I have for you is unconditional because you are me.
You represent me and I represent you and let me show the world how beautiful and intelligent we are apart from just being dark skin, because we are more than what this Society think of our dark skin let stand up for those who can't.
Let's speak up those who can't.
And stay beautiful while doing it.
