Life has a funny way of humbling people. The same people that made fun of me saying I'm "blick", "black attack", "Jackie, you're the same colour as my coat", "you have a gap in between your legs" etc, are now complimenting me and trying to be my friend. Still can't believe I used bleaching cream on my skin to become lighter in the past. I also use to wear long skirts (down to my ankles) and boot cut jeans to cover my bowlegs so people will stop laughing at me. NOW I lay under the sun to top up my melanin and expose my legs as often as I can. Be careful who you mock. The lesson here is to embrace whatever skin colour, body type and features you have been blessed with. Someone else is praying for the things we have and take for granted.
