Listen "The Impact of Colorism on Self Esteem for Dark Skinned Girls, Women, and Femmes"

Episode Synopsis

The past two weeks, I've discussed colorism as explicit prejudice and colorism as implicit bias. This week, I want to talk about the impact of colorism on self esteem for dark skin girls.
We most often talk about bias and prejudice as it pertains to our feelings about other people. But what happens when we internalize colorism and direct those prejudices and biases against ourselves?
I'll also touch a bit on self-image, which has a lot to do with how you see yourself and your beliefs about how other people see you.
Some of what I share here will be a review of a previous post on internalized colorism.
