Kiosha-Dark Skin vs. Light Skin

By Kiosha Gregg

...It took years for me to feel safe outside of my mother’s arms. It took years for me to feel comfortable in my own skin.I never felt as pretty as lighter girls. I assumed guys would think they were more attractive.

I was hesitant to believe anyone when they said I was pretty. I always thought there was some underlying meaning, like “You’re pretty for a dark-skinned girl.”

One day, during my senior year of high school, for what reason I cannot explain, I looked in the mirror and I smiled. I suppose I was tired of allowing people to dictate my life. I was tired of hating myself because one boy in the 8th grade said that he didn’t like me.

I looked at my eyes, my nose, my lips, and my skin and I smiled. I smiled at the woman before me. I looked at the mirror and for the first time, I loved the person staring back at me.
