Colorism: From Then to Now with Niba

Colorism: From Then to Now

We'll be getting into the history of colorism, how it crops up in modern places like Bridgerton and the royal family, as well as skin lightening products. This episode includes a trigger warning for rape, discrimination, and body image. If any of these topics are difficult for you, please proceed carefully because your mental health comes first.   Can't wait to hear and discuss Feminist Book Club podcasts?
