Welcome to Den Talk Podcast, here we engage in conversations that resonate with life's experiences. In our recent podcast episode, we dived into the often overlooked yet impactful issue of colorism within the Filipino community, with a unique perspective from our guest who grew up in Saipan and Guam.
Our guest, Gilly, drawing from her experiences growing up in the Islands, revealed the challenges she faced in an environment where lighter skin was favored, and darker tones were unfortunately stigmatized. She courageously disclosed the lengths her mother went to, like scrubbing her skin, driven by societal pressures and the relentless pursuit of a lighter complexion in these Pacific communities.
This thought-provoking episode takes a candid look at the harsh realities of colorism, exploring the lasting effects of biased beauty standards within our community, particularly in the Philipines.
Remember; It's more than okay to embrace your natural color; it's downright beautiful! This podcast serves as a reminder to embrace the skin you're in and to challenge societal norms!
Join us in dismantling the harmful aspects of colorism and fostering an environment of acceptance and self-love. Because on this channel, we believe that every shade tells a unique story, and embracing your true colors is amazing!
