Damn this hit me hard , I needed this talk as a little girl. s/o to her mom for destroying the self hate in such a great way

This shit almost made me cry lol

Love this

You know I always think about how I’m gonna address this problem with my kids especially my daughters. I know if someone sat me down and told me things like that at that age it would had spared me so much trouble. The way she handled it was perfect especially because its not the easiest talk to have. I love this ❤

Crying cuz it’s unbelievable we have to tell our kids this and at such a young age they are perceptive of anti-Blackness

I’ve reblogged this before and I will probably continue to reblog it every time I see it. This woman is such a good mommy. Not only did she explain to her daughter in clear and digestible way why she was beautiful and worthy but she smashed down the tantrum without talking over her daughter. She gave her the opportunity to speak in a way that made her feel respected and responded in kind. Her daughter left this conversation with her self esteem intact and a whole new take on how she feels about her skin. Good job, mommy.

Jesus Christ, I teared up. What an amazing mother, she even got her to realize her friend was brown and beautiful too.
