But I suspect it's too charged of an issue for people to respond to with ease. I mean, it all touches on our insecurities, what we think we need to do to be accepted physically; even issues about race and skin color, terms like "good hair" and "fair skinned," etc. I think you've hit on something here, and I encourage you to explore it more fully than in just one blog. Don't take the lack of comments as a failure to resonate, because I can assure you, that's not what it is. By the way, I totally think you're "Jamaican enough" =) SD Late to the party on this one…you’d think this subject would have garnered more response.

I signed my granddaughter up for it last month. Helping young girls appreciate themselves by their own standards is so necessary.
