On November 21, 2019, socialite and entrepreneur Huddah Monroe took to social media to share a powerful message with dark-skinned girls.
She expressed her concern about the societal pressure on dark-skinned girls to bleach their skin, citing the influence of celebrities who often promote skin-lightening products.
As someone who has built a career in the cosmetics industry, Huddah believes that dark-skinned girls are beautiful and underrated, and she wants them to start believing in themselves.
She shared a heartfelt message, saying,
we need more dark skin women to start believing in themselves. I am here to tell you that you’re beautiful. start carrying yourself with pride
and accompanied it with pictures of stunning dark-skinned girls to drive home her point.
It remains to be seen whether this message is a precursor to a new product line from Huddah's cosmetics brand, specifically designed for dark-skinned girls.
