Description

Karen Easley was born in the south during the era of segregation.

She remembers the pain of rejection and hurtful words about her complexion.

She witnessed countless negative actions from others because she had dark skin.

She was made to feel ugly. She was rejected by her peers and adults simply because she was a darker chocolate color.

Some children didn't want to play with her or touch her hands as if the dark color would rub off on them.

Classmates often teased her about her dark skin color.

She would pray at night that she would wake up with lighter skin. Karen wrote two books, Dark Chocolate Is More Than Candy and Assorted Chocolates Are More Than Candy for young children.

Hopefully these books will begin the conversation with adults and children about colorism.

Our black community must address the issue of promoting self love for all children. Defining My Blackness is a book about Karen'spersonal journey of exploring herself.

She is more thanher dark complexion. This book reflects her heart andmindful choices to empower every black girl and woman.

Her faith, determination, and dedication is a testimony to empowerment, healing, and self-love.

Let us unite in our power. Let us continue to stand out. Let us love.
