Just read on the Grio website that this beautiful young lady decided it was no longer worth it to continue on this journey. Whatever her struggles , she had a wonderful website For BrownGirls.com.
Her efforts to counter the rampant colorism consuming us as a society and provide enlightenment and tools to young women with deep brown and ebony hues were sorely needed. Bountiful blessings to her and I must believe that her soul is at peace.
Karyn Washington's mission statement pretty much says it all:
Welcome to forbrowngirls.com- an online "inspiration destination". FBG was created to celebrate the beauty of dark skin while combating colorism and promoting self love! FBG was created to celebrate darker shades of brown- to encourage those struggling with accepting having a darker skin complexion to love and embrace the skin they are in. However, women of all shades may take away from FBG the universal and essential message of self love and acceptance.
