Socialite Bad Black has announced she has stopped bleaching her skin after 13 years, saying she wants to embrace her natural dark complexion and allow her children to know "the real woman" who gave them life.
The socialite shared the announcement on Snapchat, describing the decision as a personal turning point after years of altering her appearance.
According to Bad Black, she is choosing self-love over skin bleaching and no longer wants to hide her natural complexion.
"I have been bleaching my skin for thirteen years, but it's finally time for my children to embrace and see the real woman who gave them life, the woman who has sacrificed everything for them. I am done hiding. Forget bleaching. I am done. This is the real me, and I am choosing to love every part of myself," she said during an interview with a local television station.
Her decision comes shortly after recovering from a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) procedure, which she said will be the only cosmetic enhancement she intends to keep.
Bad Black added that she no longer feels pressured to bleach her skin in order to feel beautiful, saying she is comfortable embracing her natural appearance going forward.
