The issue of colourism was highlighted in a recent BBC news report about a Nigerian woman who bleached the skin of her six young children leaving them with discoloured skin, burns and scars. It is a form of racism where light skin is more highly valued than dark skin amongst people of the same ethnic group.In our conversations, we hear from women who share experiences of colourism in India including Chandana who has faced colourism from an early age: “I was six or seven years old when I would first hear these conversations of my relatives saying that she's a dark-skinned girl and you will have to pay a lot more dowry to get married and it will be such a struggle to find a husband for her.”We also bring together two black women who work in the fashion and beauty industry, where appearance is everything. Beauty journalist, Ateh, shares her experiences of colourism with Nyakim, a Sudanese American model known as Queen of the Dark after her naturally dark skin tone.

In this episode James shares with Jayda what it was like becoming a model as a plus size dark skinned man and the self-actualisation that his first ever shoot had, and the feeling of figuring it out what it is you want to do in life. James also unpacks tokenism that happens in modelling and what the difference is between feeling tokenised versus fashion being truly inclusive, and how what you see in the people behind the scenes makes all the difference. On this he also spoke about the competition and colourism between plus size and dark skinned models and why he wants to see more space made in fashion for people like him. Jayda also asks James about the male experience of body image and James' journey with body acceptance and James shared how it really doesn't matter how you look on the outside but it's how you internally feel about yourself. Lastly, James also spoke about the importance of brotherhood for men and how he draws on this theme in his work as a model and documentary maker.

Deriving from her personal perspective of colourism and how she has been impacted by it in the form of oppression, Francoise shares her own personal experience and witnessing in her own family and with various skin shades based on the eyes of society. She delves into how emotional well-being is intertwined into colourism, and the focus and interpretation of beauty and how its perception can tie in with racism, social acceptance, and environmental factors all play a role in the by-product of colourism. Francoise talks about the tremendous negative implications on mental and emotional wellbeing as it relates to research that she has come across. Her perspective is that if one believes they are beautiful then they also show up with confidence, emotional stability, and career success levels tend to be higher. Francoise provides description of how majority of her siblings are lighter skin tones, and there are a few with darker skin tone, and they grew up feeling insecure, not feeling beautiful because she was dark, and didn't feel she would be able to be successful in life or aspire to any sort of life due to the darkness in her skin tone. Francoise spoke about her young cousin who attempted to wash her skin colour off in the shower by rubbing stone on her skin during her shower, bleeding after her shower in attempts to look lighter skin like the others in the family. Francoise was witness to all these scenarios from the tender age of nine, and colour differential was never something that crossed her mind until these circumstances arose amongst her siblings, which then inspired her to change the world from this young age. She expresses that the stories that heard from a young age plague self-worth and amplifies the biased standards of beauty. Her key message to the listeners is that: colourism is an insidious form of discrimination that favours those of those with a lighter skin tone; when it comes to blackness, colourism takes a dimension of attack on the emotional, mental, social, and professional aspects of a person and leads to low esteem, internalized racism, feelings of unworthiness all leading people to enhance black skin tones; remember that beauty comes from within.  Visit Dare to Heal to find out more.

Daniel is back this week and we talked about the Kendrick Lamar Vs Drake beef. We discussed who won, why they won, and what it means socio-politically.

It's all about drama in the head as a man tries to overturn his Life Sentence by claiming that he died for a short period, thus serving his sentence. Makes sense, right? After a quick discussion on how colourism isn't linked to gender stereotyping, a video on a woman's sexless marriage brings forth questions on the validity of the advice given but more so the ease at which some people recommend extreme options as solutions. There's a problem that's been silently brewing within, and it needs to be called out...The Break Time Podcast Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/thebreaktime_podcast/ My Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/denver_bagaka/My Twitter:https://twitter.com/BagakatheD

Is it possible for AI to be racist? When Google's AI chatbot 'Gemini' launched a new text-to-image feature on February 1st, it received a barrage of accusations on social media for possessing an inherent reluctance towards generating images of light-skinned, Caucasian people. These accusations came after instances where the Founding Fathers were shown to be Native American and East Asian men, while the Pope was represented by an Indian woman. The Senior Vice President of Google responded soon after that the bias was an unintended consequence of programming the chatbot to represent a variety of ethnicities. Should text-to-image models accurately reflect the existing prejudices in society based on training data? Or should they, as in the case of Gemini, artificially promote inclusion and diversity as per the prevailing value judgment at the time? Join Rohan Pai and Ashwin Reddy in this episode of All Things Policy as they tackle these difficult, controversial questions.

This edition of Sista's Let's Talk was a repeat of the program broadcast on 15th June 2023Casting a light-skinned woman to play a brown character in a Disney movie is one version of colourism, but in the Pacific it's just the tip of the iceberg.Polynesian voices have managed to find their way to the mainstream - even though it is still problematic - but has that been at the expense of people from the Melanesian and Micronesian regions?Surely there's space for all of us to represent and tell our stories.

BoF founder and editor-in-chief Imran Amed sits down with Anaita Shroff-Adajania, Bandana Tewari, Lakshmi Menon and Bollywood superstar Katrina Kaif to explore the country's evolving beauty landscape.Background:It's been 16 years since Vogue India's inaugural issue put a global spotlight on India's fashion and beauty industries. Today, the beauty sphere in particular is in the midst of a transformative shift, embracing inclusivity and making an impact far beyond its borders. “This is a 5,000-year-old culture of great style and heritage,” said Bandana Tewari, journalist, former fashion features director of Vogue India. “We had to do things to tell the outside world … what our cultural heritage of style and fashion is, that it existed over time.” This week on The BoF Podcast, Imran Amed explores the changing dynamics of the Indian beauty industry through conversations with Tewari as well as Anaita Shroff Adajania,former fashion director of Vogue India; model Lakshmi Menon and Bollywood superstar Katrina Kaif on stage at the second annual Estée Lauder Beauty & You Awards in Mumbai, India. Key Insights: Featuring Australian model Gemma Ward front and centre, flanked by actresses Bipasha Basu and Priyanka Chopra, the first cover of Vogue India “did not really nail diversity, did not nail India. It was trying to package India into some kind of modern context without any of its own culture in play,” Menon says.On the other hand, an inside story shot by Prabuddha Dasgupta showcased traditional Indian beauty, rather than in contrast to the westernised interpretation on the cover. “We had a lot of freedom because it was a space where the western powers didn't know what I was meant to do, so we were left to be ourselves and we were ourselves and we celebrated it,” says Tewari. Colourism is still an issue in the Indian beauty industry. The industry is driven by skin whitening products and Menon recalls a time she turned down a contract which included whitening cream. “It's not always about the money. It's also about who you are and how you want to put yourself out there, especially coming from a country like India, you know, who's had a huge colonial past.” Over time, the need for greater diversity in all aspects of the beauty industry is also essential, beginning in product development. “One thing that came out repeatedly was that there's no research on women of our skin colour. … I feel [the global industry] underestimates the power of the beauty revolution that's happening here,” says Shroff Adajania.For Kaif, authenticity is the key for success in the beauty market in India and beyond. “No amount of advertising can substitute the fact that the consumer and our audiences can see the truth. … They can sense what has been sold to them and what is genuinely coming from a place of authenticity,” Kaif says.Additional Resources:Decoding The Indian Beauty Landscape: Amazon Bets on Indian Beauty BrandHow India's Nykaa Aims to Beat Sephora Hosted on Acast.

 To introduce my guest, I'm going to steal some rather uncomfortable, inconvenient facts from her new book. For hundreds of years, Asians, especially Indians, have believed that if you are fair, light skinned, it means that you are superior. That's right – white supremacy doesn't just exist among white people. Sadly, this is still the case even in modern, ‘liberated' India. Global sales of skin lightening products are expected to cross $8.9 billion by 2024, according to the World Economic Forum. Ever since the Black Lives Matter protests in 2020 following the brutal murder of George Floyd, my guest found herself sharing innumerable stories with her husband and kids about her painful past. Ever wondered what persistent bullying will do to a 6 year old in the long term? Ask a 45 year old. Ask Shweta Aggarwal. Shweta is an anti-colourism activist with a colourful life. A computer science engineer by trade, her passion is dance and writing. Shweta grew up in India and Japan, and has lived in the UK for almost 25 years. We have a lot to unpack with Shweta, and talk about things like how skin-tone bias affects racial equality at work and also, all things career pivots. Learn more about Shweta Aggarwal: https://shwetaaggarwal.com/Follow her on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theblackroseway/https://www.instagram.com/theblackroseway/Get The Black Rose and Shweta's other books:https://shwetaaggarwal.com/product/the-black-rose/The semi-final at Britain's Got Talent 2010:https://youtu.be/5CnWXjr68p4?si=dlSl1w-0rpR3A29J------ Liked this episode?

When did you realise you you had something to say or something you want to stand up for. In the first in our series "Find My Voice" Jessica talks to Milly Johnson the author of 20 novels which have sold over 3 million copies worldwide. She's the winner of the Romantic Novelist Association's Outstanding Achievement Award, as well as Channel 4's Come Dine With Me – Barnsley edition. But all that success seemed like a pipe dream, until she got her first book deal at the age of 40. As the UN Security Council calls on the Taliban to revoke its ban on women in Afghanistan working for aid agencies - we look at the impact it will have on humanitarian operations in a country heavily dependent on aid. When our reporter Ena Miller gave birth to her baby called Bonnie just over a year ago - she expected to receive the standard comments..."Oh she's so beautiful, aww look at her little nose, she's so cute, aww what a big baby..." she did get those but she also got negative remarks from friends and strangers about the colour of her baby's skin. Ena realised she was not alone and went to meet two other mothers Fariba and Wendy to talk about their experiences and ask for their advice. Plus do you live with a ‘man-child'? Research shows that it's a real phenomenon, and can damage the relationship dynamic between a man and a woman, typically meaning the woman is less sexually interested. Professor @SarivanAnders joins @JessCreighton1 to tell us more And the Christmas Sandwich. Is it more popular than Christmas lunch? What should be in them? How important is the bread you choose? And can you ever add gravy? Nell Carter who reviews Christmas sandwiches is in the studio to tell us. Presenter Jessica Creighton Producer Beverley Purcell

Either one of the 3Ds of debt, divorce and death can derail a person's life but when they hit Pallu together, she fought back with service. From being comfortable with the uncomfortable, she became a comforter to others.Nuggets of wisdom in this episodeWhen we give to others, we help ourselves.Seeing your shortcomings as challenges to overcome is part of the positive self talkBeing kinder to yourself, being positive and having positive self talk is just as important as taking medication for a chronic medical condition.How we talk to ourselves frames how we are in our relationships with others. Your past does not determine your future.If you don't make yourself a priority, no one else will.References in this episodeTurning adversity into opportunity | Muniba Mazari | TEDxIslamabad https://youtu.be/I68Y81ZpjNMMel RobbinsLisa NicholsIyanla VanzantOliver TwistTo follow Dr. Pallavi Gowda's work, visit https://drpallavigowda.com/ . Thank you so much for listening!Please DM me on Instagram or Facebook @judithobatusa to let me know what you thought of this episode.If you'll love to share your story on the #MessyCantStopHer podcast, click here to let me know.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iKFmZOHTNsQ The Mindful Muslim is an Inspirited Minds podcast that hosts raw, open, and honest conversations on various topics within the sphere of mental health, psychology, Islam and spirituality. In this episode we spoke to friends Lily Syed and Naila Huggins. A graduate of International Relations from the University of Birmingham, Lily has conducted research into the effects of Islamophobia on the Muslim youth and the discriminatory application of counter-terrorism legislation on the UK's Muslim communities. With 7 years experience in counter-extremism and supporting victims of hate crime, domestic and sexual violence, she has embarked on a career change with the ambition of becoming a human rights lawyer to further support and improve standards for British Muslims. Having visited Bangladesh, Palestine and China, she is determined to support the Rohingya, Palestinians and Uyghurs. Lily is currently on a scholarship with the University of Law studying MA Law. She will then undertake the LLM with LPC funded by the Law Society. Naila is a mixed race revert and has been a Muslim for 9 years. She is the only Muslim in her immediate family. Her family has been her biggest test and she has unfortunately been estranged from some, as the case with many reverts. She is a health and social care graduate and has worked within the sector for 7 years and has been working within children social services for the past 5 years. Working within children's social service has had a big impact on how she understands people and working systems. As a mixed-race black revert woman, she feels it is very important as Muslims that we are brave enough, where able, to be that voice for the community as we are often not correctly represented within organisations and systems. They discussed: Experiences with colourism, racism and racial confusion Struggles with identity and sense of belonging Growing up in families and communities and facing discrimination Islam and inter-racial marriages & so much more!

Caroline Chinakwe is a Nigerian-born, London – based mixed media artist, designer, and fashion stylist known for her powerful, colorful, and unapologetic visuals that capture the beauty of black culture and style while addressing social issues affecting people of color. Caroline's latest art series, “Colourism,” created during the 2020 pandemic lockdown in London, United Kingdom, following the murder of George Floyd, explores the ugly bias surrounding the preference for lighter-toned women in the black community, perpetuated by the global beauty industry. In her own words: “I create art that will challenge the mainstream, igniting an understanding and appreciation for black culture, style, and beauty, as equal to the western ideology of beauty.”   During this episode, Caroline shares with host Dr. Sylvia her experience growing up in the United Kingdom as a Nigerian-born immigrant and her perspective and experience with colorism. And how her experience, together with the murder of George Floyd in Minneapolis, Minnesota, shocked and inspired her to widen her view and create a collection of mixed media art, to evoke conversations about colorism, the insidious negative impact of colorism, and the beauty of the diversity with different black skin tones.

“I was trapped in my own skin”: The illegal trade which preys on prejudice. How skin colour discrimination is still exploited with harmful black market products. Ellen's skin bleaching nightmare had a devastating impact on her - both physically and mentally. And the prejudice which drives many to take drastic measures hasn't gone away. Mercy tells how her dark skinned daughter wants to look like Elsa, a white Disney princess. So why does she want her skin to be ‘peach' not ‘black'? Thanks for listening.

Having light-coloured skin has been a key feature of societal appearance ideals for women in many parts of the globe, including Indonesia - the world's fourth most populated country. On this episode, we hear from CAR-collaborator Dr Ayu Saraswati, Associate Professor of Women, Gender and Sexuality Studies at the University of Hawaii to learn more about the light skin appearance ideal in Indonesia. We discover that the preference for lighter skin predates European(specifically Dutch) colonialism and that, lighter skin is not always considered better if the racialized group is not also positioned as desirable. Ayu also explains why the promotion of skin lightening products and the promotion of skin tanning products are not two sides of the same coin, though both are rooted anti-blackness.

Have you ever been told, "You're so dark, who will marry you?" OR "Don't go out in the sun, you'll get dark". These are just some of the ways society enforces colourism on us.  My guest, Shweta Aggarwal grew up with colourism, being told at the age of six that her parents abandoned her because of her dark skin.  She succumbed to the use of fairness creams and is now the voice of anti-colourism.  Shweta Aggarwal is an anti-colourism activist and a challenger of outdated South Asian cultural norms.
