    This is so pertinent for the times today! It is imperative that as black women and girls, we love the skin we’re in unconditionally. The world is already hard on us. We have to not only give ourselves grace and love, but share that with others. Braxton Smith, you did an excellent job! Today’s beauty standards are completely F’d up!
