“I Receive More Favours Because Of My Fair Complexion” - Juliet Ibrahim

Ghollywood sensation Juliet Ibrahim recently had a quick chat with Saturday Punch. She revealed among many other things that being “half-caste” is truly a blessing.

Read Excerpts from the interview;
On Growing Up: “I am a half-caste and as a child, there was no colour difference – you are just happy with where you are and who you are with. Then, Ghanaians accepted people for who they are. However, I am being told now that I am receiving more favours because of my fair complexion. It seems people now have issues with coloured people”.

On the real Juliet Ibrahim: “I am just a very simple person. I am hardworking, a businesswoman and a mother of a three-year-old son. I do charity work too. I released two of my singles this year.”

On her relationship: “I am married to a Ghanaian, who is a quarter-caste. His mother is half Lebanese and half Ghanaian. We met several years ago when he was living in the United States of America. I was attracted to his personality and intelligence. We kept in touch and got married three years ago when he relocated to Ghana.”

On her style: “I used to wear anything and walk around with my flip flops. Now, I am conscious of the fact that style matters and anything I do as a celebrity is a part of me. I always have to look my best always. Style, for me, is wearing what I am comfortable in. I try my best to always play with my shape and make sure my figure comes out. I can try any kind of dress. I am very dramatic with my dressing.”

We've known that all along.

Darker skinned African women  are made to feel ugly - even by our African men. Its a carry over from colonialism and the slave trade.

The "stigma" will be hard to overcome because Africa in the world press is constantly portrsyed as a "begging continent". If we are not "begging" for food, we are begging for aid to help with medicaion snd to build our schools. All the children/ people used in these "sdverts" are dsrk skinned and so or darkness becomes synonmous with hunger, ill health and lack of schools.

The first thing people notice about a girl is her skin colour and thats why are men (some very dark skinned) go for fsir skinned women - they give them a "status" amongst their so called friends!

This is aldo why our girls spend thousands a month on bleaching products.

It is all to do with low self esteem. It appears to be taking years and years to change the mindset of Nigerians.

We are afraid of who we are!

A pity because we are a nice people.
