My Colorism Experience as a Lightskin (Tan) LATINX
Listen now
Description
In this episode, I talk about my (limited) experiences with colorism as a tan complexion LATINX person. I will be speaking in US and Mexico contexts only because those are my two nationalities. The colorism conversation is one that should NOT be confined to academic settings solely for the realson that the very reality of it isn't.  I speak on my story and how difficult it was for me to come to terms with the nuance/specificity of my racial identity and how that fit in society. I can only speak for myself, my experiences, and the knowledge I've gained. I hope this helps someone struggling with identity and that it inspires you to speak on the issue !
