Shades of A Colored Girl: The Difference Between You & I

Shades delves into the impact of colorism across generations, examining how it has shaped the lives of characters Adana and Hanifa from 1619 to 2025. By intertwining their experiences, the story aims to highlight how colorism affects individuals differently based on skin tone, and how these effects ripple through generations. Colorism has divided a culture of women that are stronger together than on their own. For young students, colorism exacerbates challenges with cultural identity, fosters insecurity, and perpetuates feelings of misrepresentation.
