Ghanaian singer, Adina
Adina Thembi Ndamse, popularly known as 'Adina,' has shared her experiences with the hatred she faced while growing up in her neighbourhood.
In an interview with Amansan Krakye, the ‘Killing Me Softly’ hitmaker reflected on how she was unfairly judged as a bad girl and disrespectful simply because of her fair skin colour.
She recounted, “Growing up, because I am fair-skinned when a lot of people see me at first glance they judge me to be disrespectful.
“I’ve had instances where in the area people used to tell my mother to keep a close eye on me just because I was very fair in complexion,” she revealed on Cape Coast-based Property FM
She continued, “When my mother used to tell me about the complaints she had received about me, I felt so hurt because I was just an innocent young girl, but just because of the way God has created me the moment you set your eyes on me you'd conclude that I’ll be a very bad girl or disrespectful."
