I thought it'd be a great time to reflect on self-care practices that go beyond prevention and that allow us to express joy and love for our bodies. My original idea was to share practical ways to "love the skin you're in." Since LOVE is a noun and a verb, we can have feelings and acts of love toward our skin, hair, face, and body overall. Here are 5 of my favorite acts of love toward my body.

WRITING PROMPT: What acts of self-love for your body do you most enjoy, and why? https://colorismhealing.com/about-the... #selfcare #physicalhealth #selflove #colorism #colorismhealing #healing

--- I launched Colorism Healing to raise critical awareness about #colorism by providing a hub of information and resources and to facilitate solutions and healing through creative and critical work.

--- This initiative is unique because it has always focused on healing, self-care, and reconciliation, especially for black girls, black women, and other girls and women of color.

--- My unpopular opinion, though, is that colorism affects all people regardless of their complexion, race, ethnicity, gender, or class. Therefore, everyone is responsible for helping to address the problem. However, I explain how it effects people quite differently based on those varying factors. Some people disproportionately benefit from this system and others are systemically marginalized. Some are zealous perpetrators while others are unwillingly complicit.

--- As part of this mission, I’ve launched several initiatives, such as the Colorism Healing Writing Contest, and I invite you to explore more via the links below.
