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.

it hits home how hard we have to work for our little girls to know they're’re beautiful because the media doesn't do it for us, visual representation is everything. paint every cartoon black, every princess black if you have to, let them know they’re amazing and important. 

White people don’t go through this, and they think racism, the whole system, is something you can just get over. “Oh don’t hate white ppl that’s bad” but bitch my daughter hates herself because of you fuck outta here

i fucken loved this

i cried I cant even lie to you!

Can you guys link me to the original source??

reblog if you’re part of the “I don’t have an faq page because barely anyone ever messages me” squad

Accurate.

standing ovation, yass what a time to be alive

A friend during high school wore a suit to prom, this was 2003. She is straight and I was jealous. She went alone and had a blast. I went with a guy who had been crushing on me since 7th grade and didn't have the best time. If I could do it all over again I would totally wear a suit.

she is so freaking cute, I can’t even take it.

I’m gonna cry… Omg.

i wish they would let this baby scalp breave

North gets me!
