White Supremacy and its domination of beauty standards suck.  Youth media is the best.

Throughout the video though, I’m troubled by the use of the word “fair” when referring to lighter shades of skin.  I mean, what is “fair” skin?  It seems to presume that dark skin is unjust.  That’s a nuance we have to work on.

Beautiful and brilliantly done.

A grim reality.

This documentary short looks specifically at how ‘shadism’ affects young womyn within the African, Caribbean, and South Asian diasporas. Through the eyes and words of 5 young womyn and 1 little girl - all females of colour - the film takes us into the thoughts and experiences of each. Overall, ‘Shadeism’ explores where shadeism comes from, how it directly affects us as womyn of colour, and ultimately, begins to explore how we can move forward through dialogue and discussion.

I was just discussing this with one of my friends the other day.
