My name is Kay! I am a 20 year old college student majoring in Public Relations from Baltimore, Maryland. Being a darker skinned African American female, I have been affected by shadeism and have seen other girls, particularly African and African American suffer internally over this issue. It’s been drilled into some of our minds that dark skin is unattractive by family members, the media and peers. Sadly, some of us begin to really believe it. This shouldn’t be at all. I want to encourage and inspire girls to overcome this complex about their skin color. I want to help all girls with a darker skin complexion feel confident and comfortable in their skin. Brown skin is beautiful. Dark skin is beautiful. Let’s embrace it! This site/movement is for you.
For Brown Girls .
“For” has a double meaning. It also means in support or favor of. For example, if someone is not “for” something he or she may be either neutral or against it.

The purpose of this website(& also tumblr blog ) is not to discriminate but to:

• uplift and encourage
• empower girls to be confident & embrace the skin they are in
• recognize beauty in darker skin
• discuss experiences / share with one another (whether it be hair/makeup tips, links , articles)
• discover ways to get rid of insecurities
• discuss effects of shadeism & who it affects & why
• overcome

My website& blog are For Brown Girls, & Those Who Love Them :)
