I Love My Melanin was created to affirm how beautiful brown skin is. There is a lot of media that can make us feel less than when it comes to so many aspects of ourselves, one being our skin color. It is extremely important to instill self love within our youth to combat all the negative stereotypes and craziness we are all fed through the media.
There are certain narratives that are being pushed so we have to make sure we teach our children self love so they have a solid foundation when faced with adversity. Colorism has affected and is still affecting many people on this planet especially our dark skinned community. There are women who are bleaching their skin and using skin lightening cream in order to fit into ridiculous European standards. There are many levels to this taught self hate but it starts in our homes. We are taught subliminally and right in our faces that we are not beautiful but that is the furthest from what is reality. WE ARE SOOO BEAUTIFUL but if you consume media that is pushing the opposite message, it can really cause some distress in your life.
I struggled with how to love myself for most of life. How can someone teach you how to love yourself, if they are not even aware that they don't know how to love themselves? The cycle will continue until someone decides to break it. It wasn't until I changed what I was intaking that I started to feel better about myself. I started following accounts that showed empowering images of black women and stopped following accounts that didn’t make me feel good energetically, I started eating healthier, setting intentions, doing yoga, meditating, and reciting affirmations daily.
Affirmations are used by many people all over the world to retrain their thoughts into positive patterns. There are many factors that contribute to the way we view and think about ourselves. From the way we were raised, to the friendships we have, to the things we consume each and every day. It's important for us to reprogram the negative self talk we experience so that we are able to give our all and do our best. When we feel empowered from the inside out, our magnificence can truly shine.
