Why is our shade a TREND ?
Why is it that my melanin only "pops" online when in real life WE both know that it will be overlooked ?
#blackgirlmagic was created to allow black girls to feel beautiful and like they matter
But why only use it for a hashtag when there's nothing else behind it ?
All in the name of social media.
Cause the girl you complimented online about her shade, you just made fun of in real life.
The hypocrisy is a shame .
In the back of our minds we know that it's really the "lightskins" that get all the attention right ?
My melanin is not a trend.
Be genuine with compliments.
Uplift in person just as how you "uplift" on social media.
Or don't say anything at all.
