When we're little we don't realize the difference in each others skin color. White, black, light skinned and dark skinned.  We just play tag and hide-and-seek without a worry in the world. It's not until we grow older that self hatred is influenced into our brains. Mary Jane is a girl with a big heart and a bright mind. She's one of the most loved girls in her neighborhood, but the love she has for herself slowly diminishes as she see's how her skin color has a big impact on her life. Follow her as she tries to invoke love into peoples hearts and learns more about who she is as a Dark Skinned woman.
