“You’re too dark to wear that color.” “You don’t even look Indian.” “Have you tried a turmeric mask?” Does any of that sound familiar? If so, this episode is for you. This week we reflect on the prevalence of colorism throughout our everyday lives. Whether it’s unrealistic beauty standards, a lack of representation in the entertainment industry, or unsolicited opinions from family or aunties, we know how it feels to experience it! We are particularly proud of this episode, and even though it’s not as light-hearted as the others, it’s an important one.
