Discover Who We Are
Confidence in Your Skin Comes First
I propose that we can never remember who we truly are, until we forget who we truly are not. We cannot begin to heal our communities if we still refer to ourselves as that which we never were. Until we decide to make this seemingly minor adjustment, we will never be anything more than “the blacks.”
Never forget that your skin is brown because you are filled with one of our planet’s most valued resources, melanin. Tell yourselves this …

“I have brown skin, brown hair, and brown eyes because I am blessed with the gift of melanin. If it lives and has any kind of color in the spectrum, it contains melanin. Melanin gives me better eyesight, a more naturally muscular physique, and a more youthful elasticity to my skin. I am MELANATED and unapologetic.”
