KUSH TRACEY REVEALS WHY SHE STOPPED BLEACHING HER SKIN

Singer and media personality Kush Tracey has opened up on why she stopped bleaching her skin.

According to Kush, when she started lightening her skin, she was lost and broken, “In my early-mid 20s I was as lost as they come, yes that 2nd pic is still me, skin bleached, skinnier, looking like I’m living my best life but the reality is I was broken, lost, confused and I definitely lacked an identity. I thought being light skin made me “more beautiful” but that’s a lie from the pit of hell (no offense to the natural light skins outchea y’all are as gorgeous queens)” 

When she stopped she suffered skin discolouration, “Why I’m I sharing this today, so many women dm me asking how I stopped bleaching and got my natural colour back, the reality is I destroyed some parts of my skin then and  it’s been a journey of patience and healing to get to where I unconditionally love my skin colour, embrace my unbalanced melanin all the dark parts and light parts equally and I’m no longer ashamed of my story.”

Kush also said she dropped her friends who thought she was only beautiful when bleaching her skin, “I never thought skin bleaching addiction was an actual thing until I did a lot of research to understand why it was a struggle for me to just stop doing something that was actually causing harm to my body and could potentially have severe consequences in the long run. Anyway I had “friends” who “preferred” me “lighter” and thought that’s when I was beautiful, well I dropped them tukisonga but the more I’ve worked on my mindset and thank God for the Bible.

 I’ve embraced the truth of who God says I am, I don’t need to change my skin colour for nobody to validate me & put me in a “beauty category” I can’t type everything here; but to all my gorgeous beautiful melanin queens, y’all are a dime you don’t need to get a few shades light to look beautiful, y’all are beautiful just the way you are. Find your true worth and identity in Jesus Christ.”
