Beyonce and her daughter Blue Ivy’s “Brown Skin Girl”, straight off The Lion King: The Gift album alongside her single “Spirit”, sparked a new #BrownSkinGirlChallenge on Twitter since the song’s debut last Friday.
The song, which promotes self-love and embracing one’s dark skin, has inspired woman all over the world to proudly, and confidently, show off their brown skin.

My momma gave me light golden brown skin & kinky, coily hair. I’ve never been ashamed of it or embarrassed by my wide nose, full lips because she also gave me something even more important:
Confidence & self love.
It’s my inside that shines brightest!

The challenge is a rather refreshing break from the hate so often plaguing social media.
Going thru the #BrownSkinGirlChallenge thread. And my heart…
