In the face of online criticism targeting her skin color, 19-year-old aspiring model Mimi Mbah delivered a powerful response, asserting her pride in her dark complexion.
When a Twitter user suggested she would be more attractive with lighter skin, Mbah retorted, “No thanks. I wouldn’t trade my skin color for the world!” Her reply garnered widespread support, highlighting the importance of self-acceptance and challenging colorism in the fashion industry.
