"Growing up as a dark-skinned child being told we shouldn't wear bright colours, no red, white and definitely no yellow.
When I first wore red and then yellow, I knew it was all a lie. You radiate beauty, grace and joy every day. Thank you for showing us what beauty looks like!"
@QondiNtini said:
"After seeing irrefutable evidence, courtesy of Viola Davis, the only colour I shall be wearing in the future is yellow."
