Love Bre Scullark’s hair in this commercial.

SOO ADORABLE! A short film for Old Navy’s Spring 08’ campaign featuring Nina Keita (darker skinned model from the Ivory Coast in Africa) and Sam Saffman (White British model).

Ponds White Beauty Skin Lightening Commercial Part 1 of 5

In eastern parts of Asia, including Southeast Asia, a preference for lighter skin remains prevalent. In ancient China and Japan, for example, pale skin can be traced back to ancient drawings depicting women and goddesses with fair skin tones. In ancient China, Japan, and Southeast Asia, pale skin was seen as a sign of wealth.]Thus, skin whitening cosmetic products are popular in East Asia. 4 out of 10 women surveyed in Hong KongMalaysia, thePhilippines and South Korea used a skin-whitening cream, and more than 60 companies globally compete for Asia’s estimated $18 billion market.

Idk why, but I was initially offended by this video..kinda taken aback. Maybe because of “our” definitions of good hair. I know the point of the commercial was for it to be obnoxious on purpose but what do you think?


My name is Kay! I am a 20 year old college stude 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. *I do not own any images unless stated otherwise*
