In this car chat, I’m talking about something a lot of people still love to act confused about: colorism. Being dark-skinned in 2026 and still feeling overlooked is REAL—whether it’s friendships, dating, brand deals, promotions, or just how people “hear” you before they even listen to you. I’m speaking from that lived experience of watching lighter, “softer” looks get centered over and over, and then being told “it’s not that deep” when I call it what it is. I also made this video for the girls who’ve been made to second-guess themselves—like you’re imagining it, like you’re being “dramatic,” like you should just be grateful to be included at all. Nah. If you’ve ever felt passed over because of your shade, your features, or your voice/accent, I want you to know you’re not alone and you’re not crazy. The takeaway is simple: I see you, and I’m saying it out loud—colorism is real, it shows up in everyday life, and we deserve to be seen without having to shrink, soften, or explain our existence.
