I feel like that all the time, when I see the Puerto Rican day parades, or the Irish Heritage Festivals or what have you. I DO feel like somethings missing. I love the skin I'm in, and I love being me, but I wish I had more a solid identity to attach to People -including my mother- told me I was absolutely nuts for saying what the young lady at 0:56 is saying.

It's good to see that some of us know who we are. My draughter who's 13 is a very chocolate brown and she loves her color as much as I do. Some people call me yellow and thinks it's okay to say that but don't understand that it use to hurt hearing that from those I thought was like me just Black. Keep up the good work and thanks for sharing. Great work hats off to you and what your doing. It’s good to see that some of us know who we are.

It is a shame that this is still going on even after the whole Black movement. The only message young black girls are getting is that black is beautiful only when you are light skin. I'm sick and tired of it and we need a revolution Ladies!!!

Happy to have readers from all walks of life. I'll poke my head up too, as half of an interracial couple. I'll be posting a little about that soon enough, trust me! Coffy, you are correct. I'm going to be reviewing some non-traditional African American hair products - like Garnier Fructis Soft Curl Cream, which I love - really soon.

I have to poke my head up as a white girl but I have four beautiful biracial daughters and I found your site trying to find something to help keep their hair natural and beautiful (I refuse to relax!). Your writing is inspiring and I hope you continue to get more exposure, because things like this help us all see how much we invest in trying to acheive that unacheivable perfection.
