On July 8, 2019, socialite and businesswoman Vera Sidika made headlines when she uploaded a photo of her looking rather dark, embracing her natural skin tone.
Recalling her past, Vera had previously revealed that she spent millions to lighten her skin, a decision that sparked controversy and debate.
However, in a recent post, Vera seemed to have taken a different approach, writing, "Never be defined by your past …it was just a lesson, not a life sentence. Feels good to be back!!! Black don’t crack #backtoblack #missedmymelanin#stillbeautiful #blackbarbie."
While some fans were impressed with her current skin tone, others were skeptical, suggesting that she might be using filters to generate attention.
Undeterred, Vera took to Instagram Live to prove that the photo was unfiltered, showcasing her natural beauty to her fans.
