It's sad that we're almost at the end of 2018, and yet this issue of "light-skinned" vs "dark-skinned" is still alive and thriving. So much so that the ridiculous concept has been given a name. "Colorism". Alice Walker first coined this phrase in her 1983 book, "In Search of Our Mothers' Gardens" , where she defined …
Transition: the process or a period of changing from one state or condition to another. All of us, at one point in time or another, have found ourselves in a state of transition. Some of these states of transition are by choice, others come from natural means, while others are unwillingly imposed upon us. I'm talking …

At some point or another, most of us have felt like we were stuck, stagnant, unable to move out of our current situation or circumstance.
