How to teach your daughter to love her dark skin

In recent times, people of colour have struggled in terms of loving and accepting their skin tones. This ideology stems back to the days of slavery whereby, the ‘blacks’ were captured, imprisoned, abused and misused as labourers all due to the fact their skin tones were darker.
