Tell Us Your Good Deed

I always find time in the day to compliment other women, specifically women of color who are of African descent. I am a proud dark-skinned woman and I realize that my beauty has not been celebrated culturally or in the media. Often, and in many countries, dark skin is despised and rejected; women of my complexion are judged and socially labeled inferior or the subordinates of other women that are more Eurocentric and possess European features.

Why are you participating?

I am automatically labeled because of my skin complexion and I feel that the prejudgment involved in the hierarchy of skin complexion is largely misleading.

Tell Us Your Good Deed

People tell me my job is a good deed in itself but being an EMT is my passion. I enjoy helping others in their darkest hour.

Why are you participating?

I believe in what this project represents.
