It isn't a matter of black is beautiful as much as it is white is not all that's beautiful.

Beauty is being in harmony with what you are.

Beauty is subjective and should not be limited to only what we see on the outside.

It's weird to me to see how different everyone's opinion of beauty is.

For the past few centuries, we have defined beauty as tall, slender figures, femininity and white skin.

Beauty has always been an element of discussion for black women, whether or not we were the ones having the conversation.

I think culturally, even if you just talk about it in context, the standard of beauty has not included women of color. Period. Not just black women. If you are not a certain thing, there has not been space for you.

Beauty is not just physical.

Beauty has a lot to do with character.

Western beauty is considered the dominant beauty in the world. Tall, blond, blue eyes. I always felt a little self-conscious because I wanted to be more Caucasian. I tried to get bigger eyes... I would dress preppy.
