About this listen

In the realm of beauty standards, it is essential to address the complex issue of colorism within the context of "brown people," referring to those with diverse skin tones from light tan to deep brown. Colorism, an insidious form of discrimination, is deeply ingrained in many societies, affecting individuals of various racial and ethnic backgrounds. This podcast delves into the nuances of how colorism perpetuates biased perceptions of beauty. We explore how historical factors, colonial legacies, media representation, and cultural influences have contributed to the hierarchy of skin tones.
