Denyce Lawton would like the black community to stop making light-skinned women feel like they are less than black.
In a post on Instagram, Lawton asks that fellow black people stop shaming light skinned and bi-racial black people for their complexion. She also claims that it’s mostly fairer skinned women that are subjected to the treatment far so than men.
