I'm 9 and I Hate My Face/Brownskin Girls Unite

I can kinda relate to the first girl in the video. When I was younger I wanted to be lightskin. My momma only bought us black Barbie dolls but I remember one being lightskin with light brown and blonde straight hair and the other being darkskin with long thick kinky hair. I always wanted to play with the lightskin doll and it wasn't until I got to Spelman (Thank God for Spelman) that I understood why. Lightskin=beauty to me when I was a kid, not to mention my momma is lightskin. I don't wanna blame the media but when all you see is one type of girl in the magazines and stuff it implants something in your brain that tells you this is the way you should look, this is what beauty is. Now that I am an adult I know that I don't have to be lightskin to be pretty and I am a beautiful brownskin woman. In fact I would play with the brownskin Barbie with the big bushy hair today. I want to help other girls be happy with themselves whether they have issues with their weight or skin complexion or whatever makes them feel not so pretty, so I applied for a little sister through the Big Brother/Big Sister program and I should be getting paired up with someone in April.

You Should Never Ever Marry For Money....

Tyra had a very interesting episode come on the other day, enough for me to blog about. While no one should marry just for money, it should be on your list of criteria. Wait a minute hear me out now, I'm no "golddigger" trust me but I would be lying if I said I didn't want my future husband to have some kinda stacks in the bank. I'm sure you feel the same way. I plan on having my own stacks and I don't want to be married to a man without his own. I'm old school, I want my husband to make more than me, I want him to bring home the bacon and pay the bills while I pay for all the extras #Imoldschoolsowhat. I don't know what the stats are but when I googled reasons for failed marriages I found that finances was #1 or #2. I don't want money to be an issue in my marriage so I figured if we both have it then there is no issue, right? So I want to be in love with a man with money. With that being said I wouldn't marry only for money but it is definitly on my list of criteria disguised by the word successful, lol.

S/B- I wanted to smack the ish out of the lady who said "scrong" and "conversate"
