Who would have known that the beautiful Kelly Rowland had insecurities with her darker skin color…
Just recently on the red carpet, Kelly Rowland opened up about her personal battle with excepting her skin color with Cherise NIcole from CNikky, while attending the 2013 Essence Black Women in Hollywood luncheon last month.
Here’s what she had to say about having a darker skin color….
“You know what I had great women in my life to help me overcome that. I remember I went through a period where I didn’t embrace my ‘chocolatiness.’ I don’t know if that’s a word, but I didn’t embrace my chocolate lifestyle. Just being a chocolate, lovely brown skin girl and being proud of that. I remember Tina Knowles, Bey’s mom and I remember being out in the sun and I s trying to shield myself from the sun and she said, ‘Are you crazy?’ She said ‘You are absolutely gorgeous’ and she just told me how beautiful I was and how rare chocolate is and how gorgeous the skin is, all of this stuff. And I was just like ‘Yeah!’ Like a light went off. So between her and my mother and then me sitting out in the sun a little more, just to be a little more chocolate. You just embrace it. You embrace everything that you are as a woman, even your flaws too,” Kelly told CNikky.com.
Kelly Rowland beauty comes in different shades and you are beautiful just as you are!!!
