We urge you to send your stories, to share your experiences of colourism/shadism and body shaming. Let's educate those who don't know that these forms of discrimination still happen.
Here at TheseLayers, we use your stories to stitch perfectly, imperfect layers.

Pass me the coffee or wine!
A very real portrayal of being a working mother and wife, the trials and tribulations, the hilarious day to day. If your easily offended this may not be for you, I write how I speak and say things. Just imagine a thick, broad Yorkshire accent. I swear, a lot. From navigating being a first time mum, from new born to school age, to being a wife and your own person, these are personal stories with humour and plenty of love. I hope it makes you cry happy tears, brings you side splitting laughs, and general feelings of " yes, I know how you feel, I know what you mean"Kumpleto
Why Are You Obsessed with My Race?
I wonder why people feel like they have the right to ask me about my personal life. I don't know how many times a day I am asked, "Who are you? Where are you from? What are you mixed with?" My replies to those people are, "Why do you care where I'm from? It is your business to know what I am mixed with? How dare you overstep your boundaries and violate my space? Society judges my skin color, my hair, and my exotic features. It does not accept me for being who I am. I often hear, "You are too light to be black" or "You are too dark to be white." They size me up with their eyes of hate as if I asked for their opinion. I don't owe you an explanation. I am not on trial because of my background. I didn't choose my race. I did not ask to be here -- but I am here. I am not ashamed of who I am. You asked me, "Who am I?" The real question is, why are you obsessed with my race? Why is it any of your concern? I am Stella. I am 16 years old, and I am proud of who I am! I am biracial, and I am a human being just like you.Kumpleto
-*| The Cursed World |*-
Just smile. Just smile, and forget it all. Just smile, and it won't hurt. *~* A world, full of hate. A world, full of racism. A world, full of sexism. This is the world Hebe lives in. This is the world Hebe has tried to make herself believe is full of good. Yet, every aspect of her life undermines this. Every day would show an outsider how twisted her world is. How cursed her world is. From family, to friends, to lovers, can she truly trust anyone? Any of them? From having grown up in a world so pressured down on one's gender and race, is there truly any hope for her? Is hiding from all of the pain; all of the abuse, really the only solution? Yes, that is the right answer. To build a wall up, to stay naive, and to hide from it all. That is her only way to stay joyful. That is her only way to remain... Sane. -- A/N: ⁃ Rated mature ⁃ Would not recommend for young children ⁃ Even though this book has been prewritten from only three months before now (May), my style of writing has changed and this version is a bit rusty ⁃ Updates every (*time*)Kumpleto
Safety In Numbers ( BWWM) On HOLD
I've been bullied since as long as I can remember. Dark skin is so this or so that. And it seemed to get worse when I gained weight. "Now not only is she dark, she's fat too!" I couldn't escape it even if I tired. I even attempted to commit suicide. Sitting in the bathtub with nothing but pills a razor and social media looking at all the people that hate you would do that. I tried to make it go away, Lord knows but he had a blessing coming for me. I just had to wait. But I knew even in my waiting it was going to be an uphill battle. Will I win the battle?Kumpleto

April And Cameron (COMPLETE)
This is the truth about what happens everyday of my life. So here it goes. Welcome To My Shitty Life. I'm not perfect, and I'm not beautiful, but I do have a small voice that needs to be heard. I may be shy, but writing is my real escape, and who knows maybe this will last a long time.Kumpleto
