I can't say that I'm only interested in the beauty of dark-skinned people. I am interested in individual beauty without frames and stereotypes.
my vision
I am a very smiling person with dark skin and not Slavic features. At school, the boys never liked me, and if they did, it was usually hidden. Then I grew up and realized how to present my appearance and began to pay attention to me.
So I want to show even the most blind people that there are incredibly beautiful people without stereotypes and present it in such a way that people re gret why they did not notice this before and create dubious idols for themselves
I'm still the pink elephant here!
As for me pallor is associated with death. In our country we have very gray winters and the grey sullen faces nearly six months in the year is the mentality. Yes, perhaps because of this people with a strong character.
