#BlackGirlMagic: Dear Dark Skinned Lady

#BlackGirlMagic



Colorism is real and I'm tired of it since I can't change much, I'm starting a series called " Struggles of a Dark Skinned Female.

Dear Dark Skinned female,

You are beautiful and  I have compiled a list of things that you can relate to.


 : Ebony! Black and shine! Black Beauty:

First I hate the term black beauty - is that still a compliment? I stay in Nigeria, we are all black, not sure what 'black' beauty means.


: You are pretty for a dark skinned girl


This means - all odds are against you, yet you are somewhat attractive. Black isn't ugly! Don't tell me I'm pretty for a dark skinned girl like dark = ugly.

: Maybe you shouldn't wear black:

Just me wearing whatever the f*ck I want.
Err - the blacker the berry the sweeter the juice !! Don't stress me, I'll wear black and any other dull or bright color I like. This takes me back to my birthday dinner, where my own sister saw my photo and said I'm too dark to wear yellow?! I think the fuck not!

: You Look Like.....

 I can bet it'll be Lupita or Alek Wek or someone you look nothing like.

: I am Getting darker 

Okay, should we celebrate or you are going to keep talking about my skin tone like it's bad.

Chose these photos cus my skin is popping - thanks.

Love you do you!

I Come To You As A Woman

If I got a dollar for everytime someone has come to me as a woman, I'll have 3 dollars. For those of you who don't know what that means I'll explain. So," Coming to you as a woman " is a term used when "another woman" who is either having an affair with your man OR  you are having an affair with her man, calls you out. The process usually starts with snooping around and finding out who you are and reaching out to you. Here are some reasons why some ladies might come to you as a woman: They are getting cheated on with you - that gotta hurt. They are currently "dining" with your partner and can't let you be happy in peace. You both have the same "d*ck appointment". And this is how it usually starts - Hi *inserts name here*, I want to talk to you about Ted. I come to you as a woman who just found out she got played by a man she loves ......BLAH BLAH BLAH.  Your first reply should be to block her and stay awa

Hi guys, For some funny reason, I stopped  writing because I am a lazy writer and  I could not find  my medical report (scan  result)  Sounds funny right? but it's true, found it now so I can continue my story. So, the scan  I did is Abdominopelvic Sonogram which shows that  Pouch of  Douglas is empty didn’t Google that tho, but the impression of my results says that Polycystic appearing ovaries. So my Google search  shows: What is the cause of Polycystic appearing ovaries It means androgen levels in women can prevent the ovaries from releasing an egg (ovulation) during each menstrual cycle and can cause extra hair growth and acne,  also high levels of insulin. Lol still don’t understand it tho but I still have to carry out another test, which I have not done. Called my Doctor as usual and he tried to enlighten me that its something even doctors dunno why it occurs, so I still have a couple of tests to run. This just made me learn something in life: we are not guaranteed an

It's my birthday season, I'm super excited because this wasn't such a great year and things started looking up this month. I'd like to share an updated blogpost from where I was at last year! Read full article here . It's funny how I wrote that blogpost on this day last year, a whole year has passed.So far, I have gone 2 sizes up, my skin has a horrible rash that has reduced my short dress wearing, but the ribbon is that I have the best friends in the world and I'm actually progressing in my career. I still Listen to CTRL by SZA, my favorite song is Garden and the current song that explains my life is 20 something!  For my birthday this year, I'd be travelling to Abuja to pay Bidemi and Visit, maybe I'd be able to get an article out of her. I intend to go hiking, partying and just rest. I look forward to another amazing year of laughter, Joy, More money and more money. I have attached a recent photo of me, covered H2T!
