This photoshoot is dedicated to all the South Asian women out there who are often underrepresented in media simply because the color of their skin doesn’t fit South Asia’s unreasonable, fair&lovely, eurocentric beauty standards. As we all know, colorism is huge in India and Pakistan. Our society has come to the point where people talk about fighting oppression and uplifting women, but no one actually does anything about it. In this photoshoot I wanted to help represent darker skinned girls in the media, and address an issue through fashion photography.

Little girls grow up with their mothers bantering them about their skin color and how a man would never want them because they’re too dark. This does not help a girl’s self confidence, and it’s important to teach them from a young age that they’re beautiful and worthy in order to prevent them from being a self conscious teen. It’s also important to teach other girls that are lighter skinned to support these girls. In high school, a South Asian boy my friend had a crush on said that she was “too dark” and basically implied that’s the reason why he wouldn’t want a relationship with her. Comments like these are what destroy girl’s self confidence, especially when they’re young, vulnerable and lost. Support and help your sisters!

With the rise of young South Asians taking their pride in jewelry and colorful clothes to Instagram, it’s important not to romanticize the culture. Every culture has it’s good and bad, and although it’s totally fine to appreciate and be grateful for the good, we shouldn’t be silent about the bad especially if we are privileged. While our own South Asians are constantly romanticizing our culture, but not acknowledging it’s dirty laundry they are also promoting social marginalization. Women are treated horribly, LGBTQ isn’t a thing (especially in Pakistan), and more of our afro-south asian brothers and sisters are murdered on the streets the longer we stay silent. Instead of bringing light to these issues, our culture keeps quiet.

If you don’t know or don’t remember, this month is in November and I release resources of 2 Native fcs a day during it, except for the first and last day where I will be releasing 5. So since November is a month of 30 days then the extras on the 1st and 30th that means 66 fcs. The past two years I have come up with the entire list myself, and honestly I could again for this year, but this year I want to also take suggestions so that I more know who you guys want to see. I do have some people in my head already to do but I would love suggestions for people to do as well (maybe they’re even on my list of ideas already ).

So yeah so I’m gonna try to keep it at the very least 16+ if not 18+ (age wise) and honestly there’s no upper limit so like I already even have someone who is 77 years old on the people I have in mind so like legit just go wild when it comes to age once they’re 18+.

Uh I’m also going to be doing people without existing resources so like just. No resources yet.

And also I’m only doing people with a stated tribe, but again if you don’t remember or don’t know the tribe can be from anywhere in the Americas. The fc can be from anywhere in the Americas. From the Inuit people of Greenland to the Chipewyan people of Canada to the Comanche people of the US to the Kalinago people of Dominica to the Rama people of Nicaragua to the Mapuche people of Chile and everyone in between. I’m making it only people with known tribal affiliation(s) because I find pretendians are usually the ones who don’t know a tribe. (Also I may still not take someone on if I suspect they’re a pretendian even if they have a stated tribe.)

I would love to especially have more diverse natives. Natives from tribes without resources yet, Natives from Latin America, mixed Natives who aren’t mixed with white (or if they are mixed with white also have something else like so someone I won’t do because she has existing resources but as an example for this: Mia Sable, who is Choctaw, Korean, and German), Muslim Natives (hijabi or non hijabi …. and men too), Non Binary and Trans Natives, Jewish Natives, Plus Sized Natives, Disabled Natives, … I think you get the picture.

(Though again remember all without resources!)

So yeah if anyone has suggestions please feel free to send me them. (Also feel free to reblog this to signal boost it!)
