“Brown Skin Girl” is unapologetically and fearlessly Black, hitting on a topic that society still hesitates to approach because of how, well, complicated the topic is. Colorism is a deeply rooted issue in the Black community that goes back to slavery when plantation owners separated worked by skin tone between the fields and the house. Fast forward more than 400 years, and colorism is still alive and well. We’re living in an era where makeup companies are still releasing foundation lines with only two shades of brown and major fashion companies are allegedly only using darker skin girls after they get called out for not doing it.
