i grew up HATING my skin color. hated my eyes because they were too fuckin small. hated my flat nose. i so badly wanted to be lighter, more white passing. and all of that just made me feel so fuckin terrible about my race. im not telling you this to make this about me, im telling you this to let you know i can relate.

PLEASE please please learn to love yourself. learn to love being brown. celebrate it. when white people and even other poc w internalized racism try to push you down, dont let them.

but if you are unable to celebrate yourself at this moment, turn to your brown siblings who can celebrate with you and help you. and turn to the ones who are struggling just like you and let them know that theres a whole community of brown people ready to accept them.

this post isnt just for you meera. its for every brown person struggling to accept and love themselves.

im sorry if this post got ranty or long but i just. im just passionate about this. i dont know how else to put it, but i feel a lot of emotions about this topic.
