In this tender yet unflinching episode of Malaika, the talk show for African Christian women, we address a painful reality rooted in history and culture: colourism, the favouring of lighter skin over darker within our own communities. From family preferences and workplace bias to media ideals, skin bleaching, and deep-seated shame, this issue wounds hearts, damages health, and clashes with God's view of beauty and worth.

Join host Jackie, Mama Audrey, Auntie Zod, Tatiana, and special guest Professor Ncoza Dlova (dermatologist and head of department) as we confront the colonial legacy, real-life impacts, medical dangers of bleaching, and the liberating truth: our identity and beauty are in Christ, not skin tone.
