I am brown and proud :D

hello everyone :)

Well this is my story. I am from one of those South Asian countries which have brown colored people. Specifically, I am from India. All my life I have heard how I should apply those fairness creams or try other things. But I had always been confident in my skin and I was amazed to know that we brown people have a less hance to get skin cancer. I am not against the white people, it is just for those who think people of color aren't competent enough. I have been called out names and when I was a child,it used to hurt but now I just feel sad for people who discriminate against us. The truth is we all are of the same species and it doesn't matter what color you are. It won't change your intelligence :D

@JoyfulSoul04 Thanks for sharing your story =) Sorry to hear you have experienced negativity just because of your skin colour. It upsets me that people feel the need to use skin lightening creams, as everyone is different and that is something to be celebrated!
