Jessica Henshaw
Hollywood actress Lupita Nyong'o has been criticized in recent times for speaking against bleaching the skin.This time, she's been attacked by Jessica Henshaw, the daughter of Pastor Chris Okotie's ex-wife, Stephanie Henshaw.
Lupita Nyong'o was honored with the Best Breakthrough Performance Award at the 7th annual Black Women in Hollywood Luncheon for her work in critically acclaimed film, 12 Years a Slave, and in her acceptance speech, she'd said black is beautiful and condemned bleaching creams after she read a letter from a girl who said Lupita rescued her from buying Dencia’s Whitenicious cream to lighten her skin.
Well light skinned Jessica is apparently not happy with Lupita and here is what she has to say:
"A
lot of women just have very low self esteem. It's not about being light
or dark skinned even a man who likes light skinned girls wouldn't date a
zombie looking light skinned girl just because she is light skinned
which mean we all recognize real beauty no matter the shade it comes in.
If
you choose to be dark skinned please be dark skinned and happy with it
and stop criticizing
people for lightening their skin to make yourself
feel better.
If you are dark skinned
and you don't feel beautiful that's your problem. All I'm saying is life
is too short not to be comfortable in your own skin. Tone your skin,
in fact bleach it if you want the consequences are on you. If you choose
to be dark skinned that's also on you.
In
my opinion a lot of women who vent at light skinned people only do it
because they are insecure if not they would just mind their business and
focus on other world threatening issues.
How
many Nigerians die from skin cancer anyway with all the noise people
make about it? I like lupita and I think she's gorgeous but I think she
should just shut up with the skin color issue and stop acting so crude.
It's a civilized era black people should make better speeches without
talking about race and akin tone. A lot of dark skinned women have
broken grounds right from time."
Do you think she is right?
