In this episode I discuss what colorism is and how it has affected the black community. Research has linked colorism to dark skinned individuals receiving longer prison terms, reduced job prospects, negative perceptions of their attitude, signficantly less incomes, and lower marriage rates. This has a significant impact on mental health and learning how to embrace the skin we're in (from light skinned to dark skinned) can help combat that. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/SilentSymptomsPodcast/support
