Raise your hand if you’ve ever been personally victimized by an Aunty for being too dark 🙋🏽♀️
I certainly have.
Thankfully my Mother raised me to embrace the sunlight and vitamin D that my generation so desperately needs, and I grew up watching her tell family and friends that the skin color of her daughters is PERFECTLY BEAUTIFUL. Imagine that. Your non-indian Mother going head to head with her Punjabi in-laws questioning their standard of beauty. It’s always scary to be the first to make change in a generation where such things are so normalized. Well I don’t want to be part of a generation where this is normalized. Brown is beautiful - and you can quote me on that. So bring it on, Aunties.
