The people who had a problem with Beyonce’s black pride at the Super Bowl would be flattened by Kendrick Lamar’s performance last night (I say would because Beyonce haters don’t watch the Grammys). The king of the night melded hip-hop, soul and avant-garde jazz, rapping “The Blacker the Berry” and “Alright” against a set that moved from a prison to a tribal bonfire. Up for an astounding 11 awards, Kendrick Lamar ruled with trophies for Best Rap Song, Performance, Album, Rap/Sung Collaboration and more.

It took me 18 years to embrace my deep brown complexion, to wear my natural kinky hair with pride and to lay on the beach in California and absorb the sun fearlessly. So no, I am not #TeamLightSkinned, I never will be. I don’t have a lovely caramel undertone to my skin, though I never really liked the idea of being referred to in reference to food.
