From my Fanta to Cökë journey : A Confession from a Recovered yëllöw Girl 😫😅
Let me confess something small today.
There was a time in Nigeria when I started lïghtèníng my śkïn.
And when I tell you I was glowing?😅
I was shining like NEPA just restored light after 3 days blackout.
Transformer-level brightness 😭
Anywhere I entered?
I dey shine pass north sun.
Even sun go need umbrella.
And I LOVED it.
I convinced myself it was “hýpërpigmèntation trëatmènt.”
Meanwhile my śkïn was whispering:
“Madam… this is púnishmènt.” 😩
I used to look at my därk chöcòlate brethren and say:
“Natural is beautiful o… but me?
I like premium subscription glow.”
And na sünbúrn dey show us Shege banza pass.
Luckily I was not in hardcore Caro Whït ministry.
I no reach roasted plantain department.
But still… that was not my factory settings.
Then I met my husband.
First video call, this man looked at me like a documentary narrator.
He said he was surprised Nigerians were that lïght.
I said:
“Some are naturally… but my own? Na scïencè student mixture.
Na ororo.” 😭
Then he asked calmly:
“Why would you do that to yourself?”
No judgement.
No shouting.
Just pure European man wey cönfüse.
But that question?
It sat in my spirit.
I told myself:
Wetin happen sef?
Make I see my real cölóur.
I fit be blue I no even know 😩
So I stopped.
And nobody prepared me for the transition.
You stop today;
Tomorrow you check mirror…
You don bláq pass your childhood passport picture 😅
Feär catch me.😂
“Jesus… this one na spirïtuäl hattack???”
I ran back to my Orishirishi department.
That is why when I relocated to France, I still yéllöw small.
I say make I use yéllöw enter obodo oyibo.
Make I shöćk them small.
If only I knew I was about to shöćk myself.
First weeks in France humbled me like unpaíd bill.
I started observing real oyibo people.
Their skin?
Original.
Soft.
Effortless.
And that’s when it hít me:
Sis.
I jé bùlì? 😳
Can you handle this truth?
Because you can rub ororo till 2050.
Your śkin will never be oyibo starter pack. Instead e go begin dry.
You are Original.
You are Deluxe African Edition.
Limited release.
Non-refundable glowing Queen.
Eledumare masterpiece.
Reclaim your originality effortlessly.
That day?
I g*thered all that expensive chaos
Straight to the dustbín.
I felt like I was breaking up with a töxïc ex.
“Thank you for your service. Please exit my life.”
And guess what?
An indescribable glow appeared.
Not from cream.
Not from bottle.
From acceptance.
Today I walk confidently in France with my full African mëlánin
glowing under European sun.
And the irony?😅
Na oyibo people dey compliment me pass now.
Anytime I step out with my husband, he must hear:
“Vous êtes très belle.”
Sometimes growth is realizing:
God did not forget to päïnt you.🙌🏾
You were never a rough draft.
You are the final version.
An original.
Your caramel or dark skïń?
It was never a mistake.
It is your beautiful identity.
This glow you see after
did not come from a bottle.
It came from acceptance.
From confusion…to confidence ❤️
If this touched you, shárè it.
Somebody somewhere needs to read it too 🫶🏽
