You never ever see hair like mine in the media. Its really a shame how black women keep falling victim to insecurity because of lack of knowledge that would allow them/us to see and appreciate ourselves for whom god intended us to be. Proctor and Gamble is making a commendable effort, however there is so much work that has to be done in the homes of diasporic people and so much more brainunwashing on large scales to fully bring to light the perfect enormity of the beauty of black men and women.

Dove's Real Beauty campaign seems very sincere, but it's parent company is still guilty of promoting the usual standards of beauty in other product campaigns. Being less than a month old from launch, I'd like to see how the My Black is Beautiful campaign organically grows with more support and community involvement before I make a judgement on it- even with commericial roots it could stand to make a change.

When I'm watching television from commerials to sitcoms theres always black men with a light skinned black woman. I've recently seen just two commerials with dark skinned black women (Sunny Delight and I think it was Tide) in a family structure. Right now I'm listening to Tita Reed on 102.5fm Grown Folks Station with Warren Ballentine Free Your Mind Friday 10/05/07 and the information she's providing is very motivating for sisters thats out here trying to make a difference!

Why has P&G created this campaign?" - it's not enough to put together sexy ad campaigns. How were these products developed and what makes them specifically fit in this campaign. Integrate the entire thing at some point in to P&G's company profile. I am a woman of color. Cheers! I’m leaning towards “Walk the walk.
