Rev. Dr. Lesesne is preaching a word y’all! Men lie, women lie, but numbers don’t lie (well sometimes the math don’t math, however this ain’t no lie). Get into these statistics that our good sista is dropping on colorism!
When we tell y’all, , came putting us on to so many OGs doing the work to disrupt and dismantle colorism! Do you know Marita Golden? If not, get to know her!

Now, we know our elder has said some problematic things about the Trans community. We don’t stand for that, Periodt! And, , helped us to see the ways in which Elder Alice has spoke out against colorism. She stated, “I think there is probably as much difference between the life of a Black Black woman and a high yellow woman and a white woman. And I am worried constantly about the hatred the Black Black woman encounters within Black society. To me, the Black Black woman is our essential mother, the Blacker she is the more us she is and to see the hatred that has turned on her is enough to make me despair, almost entirely, of our future as a people.”
Before you get offended, just say ouch. And then lean in, and think deeply about your privilege or lack their of, because of your skin tone. This is family business, and we got to be honest about the harm we participate in. Let’s heal y’all! Thanks to our sis, for schooling us!
