DJ Lamiez Holworthy says we won’t have a generation of brown kids who hate their skin
TV star DJ Lamiez Holworthy has opened about handling colourism, saying she grew up around people that made her desire there was something wrong together with her dark skin.
In the age of Beyonce’s Brown Skin Girl, many conversations are shooting up on our TLs lately. one among them is about colourism, or discriminating against someone due to their complexion.
TV personality Lamiez joined the convo when a tweep skilled a photograph of herself with Khuli Chana by advertising skin lightening products.
The star didn’t take too kindly to the post trying to sell her something she clearly doesn’t want.

“No offence to anyone who deems it fit bleach their skin, but for me? I really like my dark skin wholeheartedly! Now quite ever. Especially because I grew up around people that made me desire there was something wrong with it,” said Ramirez.
Other celebs have weighed in on the colourism debate in recent weeks.
TV and media personality Kuli Roberts took to Twitter to encourage dark-skinned women to like themselves. She said we aren’t getting to raise a generation of youngsters hating themselves.
“We aren’t getting to have a generation of dark-skinned kids hating their complexions due to you. Not today, Satan,” she said during a post last month.
