October 6th, 2009 - New York, NY - Why is the entertainment industry obsessed with light skinned women? Film maker and Internet star Joy Daily of RealTalk NY searches for answers in her soon to be released documentary "Complexion Obsession". The film stars Actress Melyssa Ford, Rappers Paul Wall, Cassidy, and Rick Ross, Author Thembisa Mshaka, and Temple University Black Studies chairman Dr. Norment.

The intense and eye-opening film features real industry professionals addressing the reality of light verses dark skin in an industry that influences millions of children and teenagers around the world. Through interviews you are provided with a raw and honest look at the industry and the double standards are exposed. Joy Daily uncovers and reveals the under belly of a practice that has been kept in the closet for generations. "There has been a buzz around this movie for awhile now, and my fans want to know the truth” says Joy Daily, Executive Producer of the film. "I'm very anxious to see what the response will be from the entertainment industry, and I hope it can change the way women of color are viewed" she adds.   Along the road to recovery, Joy realizes the industry needs to change immediately. “The entertainment industry has always been obsessed with fare skin. Light skinned women have always been casted in lead roles and are put on a pedestal. Dark skin women are overlooked and usually casted as the stereotypical, over sexed, bootie shakers” says Joy.

The road to recovery will take awhile but progression has to come. “It was a story I wanted to tell it, I don't expect everyone to be happy with what I'm doing” says Joy Daily. “The industry influences a generation of Black people and things must change for the sake of a those children”.
