Khessal

This short documentary is about khessal ("skin whitening"), and its role in the lives of women in Senegal, Africa. (Read more about it in this article.)

This hit a nerve in me, as I know how it feels like to work too hard to attain a certain standard of beauty. At the very least, do remember to proceed with caution.
