Wednesday Wisdom: Colorism From A Dark Skinned Male’s Perspective: Derrick C.

Name: Derrick (or I go by Novic or Dee)
Age: 22
 ”To be nobody but yourself in a world which is doing its best, night and day, to make you everybody else means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight; and never stop fighting.” ~ E. E. Cummings. 

“There is no greater love than self-love. Today I stand tall and scream, MY BLACK IS BRAVE, STRONG and BEAUTIFUL!!! And to my younger dark/brown skin brotha’s and sista’s embrace who you are. Know that God did not make a single mistake in creating you…. You are Beautiful! I hope my story can help and inspire others.”

*Thank you so much again Novic for sharing your story with FBG. I know there are alot of males who follow the blog who can relate and I am glad that you can be an inspiration to others. We rarely hear the side of colorism from men. It is good to know that we are all in support of one another learning to love the skin they’re in*- Kay
