This Celeb’s Daughter Is Finally Comfortable in Her Own Skin

Snoop Dogg’s daughter Cori Broadus is opening up about her journey toward self acceptance and inspiring others to do the same.

The 17-year-old may be hip hop royalty, but feelings about her complexion once left her feeling quite the contrary.

In a revealing Instagram post, the music protégée shed light on a subject that affects black women and girls worldwide: colorism.

Turning her previous struggles into an empowering message, Broadus writes under a beautiful portrait of herself:

“I can finally say I’m comfortable in my own skin, grew up disposing the skin tone I was in because it’s been bashed for so long & society has been pitting in our heads that dark is ugly. For all you beautiful chocolate girls/women out there you’re BEAUTIFUL & don’t let anyone tell you different. –Cori B.”

Cori reposted the same image to Twitter captioning it, “#Girlpower spread the message” and we couldn’t agree more.
