Former Miss Colombia finalist, Lina María Hurtado, bravely opens up about her experience with skin lightening in response to racist comments.⁠ ⁠ Determined to inspire change, Hurtado advocates for self-love and acceptance in Latin America.⁠ ⁠ “I did it secretly from my parents. And I used it because it’s supposed to be a whitener and being white was good,” she said.⁠ ⁠ She also plans to launch a skincare line to encourage other Black women to “love your own skin.” ⁠ ⁠ Tap the link in bio to read more. // #MissColombia #BlackWomen #Colorism
