Nuestra Hermana i

Ma:
I took a picture with two of my friends during the wedding and you know how they're REALLY light skinned?
Me:
Yeah.
Ma:
I saw the picture today.
Me:
Okay. Was it nice?
Ma:
I was in the middle and I looked just... so bronzed and... different.. than them.
Me:
Is that a bad thing for you?
Ma:
I just looked kind of burned you know?
Me:
No ma. Your skin is brown. Even a lighter brown than me and there is nothing wrong with that.
*me raising my arm*
Me:
Do you see this? I like my skin ma. I like that I'm brown; there is nothing wrong with being light brown or dark brown. You don't have to be as close to white as possible.
Ma:
..................
Me:
.................
Ma:
It just made me feel ugly.
Me:
Ma, you're really beautiful.
Ma:
You think so?
Me:
I don't think it; I know it. Anyone who doesn't is an idiot.
