Episode 2 Fair and Lovely? No thanks

·         Episode 2: Fair and Lovely? No thanks

The girls have always heard ever since they were young girls that being light skinned was the epitome of beauty in their culture back in Bangladesh.  In the Western culture it appeared the same, you would not considered beautiful if you were dark skin. If you did not fit the typical Euro-centric beauty then you did not matter. The girls start to embrace their unique features and love their melanin.

Zinnat, Amina, Minal and Leila realize that their beauty is special and important; they keep their long thick hair, embrace their dark brown skin, and emphasize their beautiful thick eyebrows, big lips and eyes.

 They refuse to do the same as their mothers and put turmeric cream called Fair and Lovely that makes your skin appear lighter, and accept that blue eyes, blond hair, pale skin and thin body is not the norm anymore.
