Kenyan socialite Vera Sidika has made headlines once again, this time for a photo she posted on Instagram where she appears to be embracing her dark skin.

For those who may have forgotten, Vera Sidika made headlines in 2014 after revealing that she spent millions to lighten her once very dark skin.

However, in a recent post, Vera Sidika seems to be singing a different tune, captioning a photo of herself looking darker than usual with 'Never be defined by your past …it was just a lesson, not a life sentence. Feels good to be back!!! Black don't crack.'

The post has garnered over 74,000 likes and over 11,000 comments, with many terming it a publicity stunt.
