À propos de ce contenu audio
Why does lighter skin still carry so much weight in our families, our cultures, and our beauty standards? In this episode, Kim and Jasmin dive deep into the roots of colorism — from class systems in Asia to the lasting impact of colonization and Western media.
Through personal stories of being told to “stay out of the sun,” pressured to use whitening products, and feeling erased by the images around them, they open up about how colorism shaped their identities. Together, they unpack the silence, the shame, and the ways these messages are passed down through generations.
But this conversation isn’t just about pain — it’s about healing. Kim and Jasmin share how they’re unlearning these beliefs, how they talk to their children about beauty, and why representation is more than visibility — it’s dignity. This episode is a reminder that every shade carries history, culture, strength, and beauty. And it deserves to be seen, not erased.
