I watched The Mens Club on YouTube and wow the colorism is quite disturbing. The only dark-skin girl rocking her natural hair is treated like a nobody and discarded by the guy. All the ‘wanted’ girls are light skin. The moms are dark-skin and the hot cougars are light-skin. You
may think these representations don’t matter, but they absolutely do, especially for young girls who struggle to see the beauty in their skin tone. I challenge Nigerian producers to Cast dark-skin girls as desirable in their TV shows! You won’t die! I’m so irritated right now...
I said what I said! Let’s not be shallow minded...stories matter, representation matters. Let’s think critically for once please...
