" A lot of my family members specifically would tell me not to go out in the sun for too long. There is a lot of miseducation on sun exposure, especially for black women and girls, people with deeper complexions and melanin. The sun is not harmful to most of us who have Eumelanin and have richer, deeper skin tones. The people who get harmed by the sun are people who have little to no Eumelanin and fair complected people. there's a stigma around being in the sun for too long as a black person in general, specifically black girls. If we're darker we're associated with being masculine." - Cassundra.
