Dark Girls is a poignant documentary that investigates what it means to not only be Black in America, but what it means to be a Black person with dark skin. It was aired on OWN this week. It was a 2 hour documentary and i thought that it was not only well done but that it has also been crucial to get a dialogue reopened about colorism not just in America but abroad as well.

5 Reasons Why Little Girls Need Daddies Too!
I love this picture so much. It’s of my daughter and her father, my husband, at her graduation. I am nearly brought to tears every time I look at it.
