In a “Fair and Lovely” world where virtually every skincare product in the East is sold with lighteners, the dark skinned people of the world apply those creams, rinses, and even bleaches trying to be “beautiful”; while in parallel their coveted light skinned counterparts slow roast themselves in tanning beds or under the sun with the same goal in mind… the grass always seems to be greener.
This tritone celebrates the beauty of that darker skin — as a chubby preteen with the darkest skin of all the girls in my family, self esteem was never really in abundance; an experience I regrettably share with countless kids around the world. I treasure my self love today and this tritone is a testament to that. These songs celebrate every, especially darker, skin tone and their appreciation which flourishes more and more in the world with every passing year ❤️
