This is Sudanese super model, Alek Wek. She is an inspiration to me, not only because of her unique style, but also because she is true to herself. Some of my closest friends are Sudanese, and I am learning Arabic at the moment. I love my friends, and to me it is sad that people would rather make their beautiful skin seem like a defect rather than the wonderful characteristic it is.
I think many African Americans struggle with feelings of self-hate as far as thinking the lighter the better, or the straighter/longer the better. I love variety, it would be a boring world with out it.
