Thank you so much for posting this video DIL!! Its important for all of us to know that we are beautiful regardless of our skin color. As a Dark Skinned Latina many people have made comments about my skin color. "How can you be Latina & dark skin?", "You're not a real Latina!" & I've even had someone tell my mom right in front of me "Your daughter is so pretty, but she's black!"(As if I was cursed). Mannn, it was such an ignorant comment, but she's not the only one that thinks that way and its sad (SMH) What's even more crazy is that similar to the bleaching many Latinas think if they eat certain foods while their pregnant their babies will be born "Light Skinned". So Praise God for DIL , cause regardless of our skin color we are ALL BEAUTIFUL just the way God made us. KEEP SHINING!
