Mark your calendars for August 15th for Brown Skin Appreciation day!
Who can participate?
Anyone who is “brown” and is not a white passing person of color. This is not limited to but also includes: South Asians, South East Asians, East Asians,non white people from the MENA region, non white Latinxs, African Americans, Africans, anyone who identifies as black, Mixed POC,Pacific Islanders, West Indians,and Indigenous peoples.
Why is this a thing?
Because people need to appreciate the beauty that is brown skin. For years, people have been putting lighter skinned POC or white passing POC on a pedestal and perpetuating the idea that “light skin is beautiful and dark skin isn’t”.
How can I participate?
Post a selfie with the tag “Brown Skin Appreciation Day” on August 15th! And reblog everyone’s Brown Skin Appreciation selfie to show your love and support. You can also tag “BrownSuggestion” on your selfie on Instagram!
I hope everyone who is brown participates and spreads the brown skin love!
