Within the black community a war has been going on, a war on color. As if society doesn't degrade the darker toned person enough, we do it to our own people. What is beautiful? Every shade, and this show we explore the origins of colorism, and the impact it has had on so many within the family, and socity as a whole. We must come together as #Teamblackgirl (or boy) instead of telling our African-American brothers and sisters that must fit into a certain mold to be beautiful. Low self-seeem is something that close to all people will deal with in their lifetime, why make their stuggle for self-acceptance any harder? This is the beginning of a revolution. No more team light skin, no more team dark skin, we are all African, African-American, we are all beautiful. Join the unity movement with #Teamblackgirls!
