Lisa Raye directs 'SKINNED', a movie staring Jasmine Burke as a young girl suffering from self-hate of her skin color. One of the most difficult discussions that needs to be re-visited in the Black community, 'SKINNED' addresses the use of skin bleaching products to achieve a lighter appearance. Many products used for skin bleaching cause scathing side effects, as the desire to be "Light-Skinned" becomes a epidemic among Black people. A big thumbs up to Lisa Raye Mcroy for presenting this topic to Black audiences, and bringing awareness to world-wide struggle of discrimination of color and self-hate.
