Hollywood actress Lupita Nyong'o has been criticized in recent times for speaking against bleaching the skin. This time, she's been attacked by Jessica Henshaw, the daughter of Pastor Chris Okotie's estranged wife, Stephanie Henshaw. Jessica Henshaw Lupita Nyong'o was honored with the Best Breakthrough Performance Award at the 7th annual Black Women in Hollywood Luncheon for her work in critically acclaimed film, 12 Years a Slave, and in her acceptance speech, she'd said black is beautiful and condemned bleaching creams after she read a letter from a girl who said Lupita rescued her from buying Dencia’s Whitenicious cream to lighten her skin. Well light skinned Jessica is apparently not happy with Lupita and here is what she has to say: A lot of women just have very low self esteem. It's not about being light or dark skinned even a man who likes light skinned girls wouldn't date a zombie looking light skinned girl just because she is light skinned which mean we all recognize real beauty no matter the shade it comes in. If you choose to be dark skinned please be dark skinned and happy with it and stop criticizing people for lightening their skin to make yourself feel better. If you are dark skinned and you don't feel beautiful that's your problem. All I'm saying is life is too short not to be comfortable in your own skin. Tone your skin, in fact bleach it if you want the consequences are on you. If you choose to be dark skinned that's also on you. In my opinion a lot of women who vent at light skinned people only do it because they are insecure if not they would just mind their business and focus on other world threatening issues. How many Nigerians die from skin cancer anyway with all the noise people make about it? I like lupita and I think she's gorgeous but I think she should just shut up with the skin color issue and stop acting so crude. It's a civilized era black people should make better speeches without talking about race and akin tone. A lot of dark skinned women have broken grounds right from time. Who agrees with Jessica?

Good question - "how many Nigerians die from skin cancer anyway?"
Well, considering the fact that Nigeria keeps no authentic data on illnesses that kill Nigerians on a daily basis, secondly, most Nigerians die in their own beds at home and thirdly, MOST deaths in Nigeria are ascribed to "evil forces" anyway - that does not mean people DO NOT die of skin cancer.
I stand firmly on Team Lupita Nyong'o.
Naturally dark skinned women and men (oh yes - men too) who attempt to bleach themselves from head to toe - DO HAVE self low esteem. Appearing BLEACHED - DOES NOT OPEN DOORS to any new opportunity. They have to realize they are harming their skin and this is not easily corrected. Most of the products are fake and flown in by our "new colonial masters" the Chinese who want to "help" these people "achieve" their "dream" by letting them believe they are now caucasian to the detriment of their health.
Dencia can no longer stay in the sun without covering herself up from head to foot - as her "man-made" skin and the sun can no longer co-exist.
With time the knuckles, elbows, lips, around the eyes and knees will revert to type (natural dark colour) and appear as if they have been accidentally BURNT.
Skin bleaching is not like wearing a WIG, or WEAVE. Its not like putting on MAKE-UP or wearing a new dress. These things listed can be removed when you grow tired of them and want a change. Skin bleaching on the other hand is different. The repercussions of stopping bleaching are worse than those of starting in the first place.
What happens when you marry and have a baby that comes out dark skinned (after all the baby was born with your natural dark skin colour) ?
Do you bleach the baby to look like you - in your new "skin?"
All I can say is - before you begin to bleach - ask yourself the question "why do I want my skin to appear different from the one I was born in?"
