Bleach (Struggles Of A Darkskin Sista)

Intro

"Alright Dad, I'm off to school. I love you." I kissed my fathers cheek and gave him a big hug. "Alright my Ki-Ki Bear." My father replied with a warm smile plastered on his dark complected face. I loved my father so much. Everything about him was so warming. His smile, his eyes, his hugs. I'm a Daddy's girl, what can I say. My father is an amazing man and does everything he can to provide for me, my sister Dee, and my mom, Tonia.

My mother is a hard working woman as well. She has light skin more of a peanut butter completion , beautiful curls, and her figure is so magnificently shaped. My mom was drop- dead gorgeous to say the least.

My mom was already at work and I was headed off to school. I walked out the door, closing it behind me and made my way torwards my car. I enjoy going to school down here in the Bronx, not everything is bad up here like most people think. I go to a nice public school with a small circle of friends that I've known my entire life..A very small circle. A total circle of four. Those friends have my back no matter what.

Oh yeah, I forgot to introduce myself. I'm Keisha Reedy, I'm 17 and I have a dark chocolate skin tone. At times I have trouble loving my skin because some say it's "Too dark." or "Odd.". But if I don't know how to love my skin neither will anyone else. My dad is constantly reminding me of how beautiful I am and how precious my skin is. My mother as well; she calls me her "Melanin Princess" and my sister Dee has taught me how to flaunt my skin in a beautiful way all while carrying myself in a ladylike manner. But Dee is in college now and my mom is always at work. So it'salways me and my Dad. Sometimes I fall apart. To the point I.... never mind.

Here I will tell you my story, my struggle and my break through. This is Bleach (Struggles of A Darkskin Sista)
