In the Fall 2011 Issue of Runaway Magazine, Kelly Rowland spoke about self-love and encouraging women to “Be strong and don’t be afraid to take chances”.
Kelly Rowland talked about having an identity crisis and struggling with her complexion.
“There’s so much peer pressure growing up, I had an identity crisis. I went to a predominantly white school and I was the only black girl. I can remember thinking: ‘I don’t want to be as dark as I am – I want to be a little fairer.’ I didn’t want to be me…Tina sat me in front of the mirror and said: ‘Girl, look at how pretty you are.’ She made me feel comfortable in my own skin.
Kelly Rowland is a beautiful black sista. As a dark skin woman myself, I can relate to Kelly Rowland. Color shouldn’t be a factor in determining beauty. When I was younger I thought skin color defined who you are, and that lighter was better. It was over time and the love from my parents that showed me all shades of color are beautiful.

This is so sad that Kelly herself can’t find the beauty in her own skin color. So sad!
