What you need to know:

  • It is time to openly speak about the natural beauty of African women which does not appeal to pity, and which does not need to conform to any other people. Africans are different people who are richly and uniquely made. It is also important to teach children that they are beautiful the way they are and are not lacking anything. Their beauty does not need repairs or replacements.
