“Dark Girls” is a fascinating and controversial documentary film that goes underneath the surface to explore the prejudices that dark-skinned women face throughout the world.
It explores the roots of classism, racism and the lack of self-esteem within a segment of cultures that span from America to the most remote corners of the globe.
Women share their personal stories, touching on deeply ingrained beliefs and attitudes of society, while allowing generations to heal as they learn to love themselves for who they are.

"It is not what you look at that matters, it is what you see"' a quote from Henry David Thoreau. In others words I luv love love my dark skin. What other people think is irrelevant to me. Parents love your children and instill self esteem into them. I experience racism from all races yet the only person that can make me feel inferior is myself. Stand up people and love yourself. Don't let anyone bring you down!!!!
Self esteem is the key to ending this type of inward and outward abuse! We must learn to love ourselves and instill it in our children…I'll be watching!!
