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.” ⁠
