Princess Shyngle
Gambian social media sensation, Princess Shyngle has penned a long “apology letter” to all black girls.
The actress and socialite through the letter sought to give a voice to dark skinned women by projecting the injustices meted out to them.
She alleged that the frustrations of being dark sometimes push young women to bleach their skin.
She list a number of scenarios in which dark looking women and denied an opportunity to act, occupy a position, or even date a person just because of their appearance.
To drum home her message, she penned a message on her Instagram page to condemn injustices to black girls the world over.
Read her full message below;
“As a black woman I want to apologize to every black girl out there that has been a victim of colorism, I’ve been a victim too (you are too dark for a movie role, you are too dark to date him, you are too dark for this endorsement deal, you are too dark to make it in the industry, you are too dark to be happy, you are black and ugly, no man will ever marry you , your skin disgust me, go bleach you’ll look pretty)."
"I’ve seen and heard it all but it never moved me, instead it makes me prouder of my skin."
So I want my black queens out there to be proud of their skin color, never allow anyone or society try to bring you down, your black skin is your crown ???? wear it like the queen you are and conquer the world..."
"The darker the berry, the sweeter the juice ???????? . I love my black skin, do you love yours?."
The Gambian national more often than not makes headlines due to her obscene photo she posts on social media and her 'controversial' presence in the entertainment landscape.
