Actress Folake Olowofoyeku has shared candid reflections on her upbringing in Nigeria, revealing how colorism shaped perceptions of beauty.
The Bob Hearts Abishola star explained that lighter-skinned girls were often seen as more beautiful, and she admitted that she wasn’t consistently called “beautiful” until she moved to the United States.
Adding context to the discussion, comedian Godfrey highlighted some of the extreme beauty standards in Nigerian culture, noting that it’s not uncommon for babies’ noses to be pinched in the hope they’ll grow up with narrower, more “Caucasian-like” features.
Olowofoyeku’s comments shed light on the challenges many face in societies where colorism and rigid beauty ideals influence self-image and acceptance.
