Summary

"I love being chocolate. Our skin melts into a melanin pool of smoothness. The sun kisses our skin only to rest its warm texture upon us, draping us in a glow that is like no other! Us chocolate beings are guardians of all things beauty. From our lips to our curly hair, we are majestic. We are sensational. I am smart, I am courageous, I am funny, I am angelic, I am black, I am chocolate." Am I a pretty? Am I all things beautiful, handsome and all in between? On this episode of Chocolate: The Podcast we discuss Colorism and beauty standards. ~ Chocolate Reading: Author: George.
