Authentically V: Gaining Self Awareness

Perfect Just The Way You Are

Listen this week as I discuss how my complexion, hair and skin effected me in my younger age and these insecurities followed me to adulthood and through relationships. * Merriam-Webster defines colorism as prejudice or discrimination, especially within a racial or ethnic group favoring people with lighter skin over those with darker skin. We also discuss my Little White Lady and how 5 year old Vic wanted to be white like her.  While I joke and play far too much my momma is black, blackly black black, don’t let the light skin fool you And of course we have Story-time, cause your girl always has a story to tell. Wrapping it up with a lyric review.
