Jonnae Thompson, a 37-year-old actress, singer, and comedian, has faced challenges in Hollywood due to her dark skin, often being typecast in villainous roles.
Colorism, which favors lighter skin over darker tones, not only affects representation in media but also correlates with increased health risks among affected individuals.
A 2023 KFF survey indicates that adults with darker skin tones experience more discrimination than those with lighter skin, leading to significant mental and physical health issues.
The stigma associated with darker skin leads many women of color to use harmful beauty products, increasing their risk of exposure to toxic chemicals.
