Listen this week as I discuss how my complexion, hair and skin effected me in my younger age and these insecurities followed me to adulthood and through relationships.

• Merriam-Webster defines colorism as prejudice or discrimination, especially within a racial or ethnic group favoring people with lighter skin over those with darker skin.

We also discuss my Little White Lady and how 5 year old Vic wanted to be white like her.

While I joke and play far too much my momma is black, blackly black black, don't let the light skin fool you

And of course we have Story-time, cause your girl always has a story to tell. Wrapping it up with a lyric review.

Lyric Review:

• Song: Little Brown Girl
