Fantastic words btw from @lailawoozeer, who equally wrote a really fantastic book #NotQuiteWhite on mixed identity that resonates with me a lot.

A powerful read on why @lailawoozeer boycotted fake tan and why they believe this multimillion pound industry is fuelled by insecurity, featured in @MetroOpinion today and explored further in their new memoir #NotQuiteWhite #books #beauty #race #faketan

Opinion by Metro.co.uk @MetroOpinion

I have boycotted fake tan ever since. I was bullied due to being brown – nicknames like ‘Curry House’ and ‘Apu’ were hurled at me, and I was told I was the ‘colour of poo’ as early as primary school.

An excellent and insightful read growing up with a mixed race religion by the talented @lailawoozeer in @galdemzine today and a theme further explored in Laila’s recently released memoir #NotQuiteWhite @simonschusterUK. Give it a read!
