My name is Mariam, I'm 23 years old and unmarried. Why is the title of my post so black? Since I was young, many people have said that I'm dark-skinned or politely put, 'dark'. They would question my mother, 'Is this your child, Milah? Why does she look so different from you?' My mother has fair skin. Most of my friends and relatives, my mother's cousins and siblings, always ask why I'm darker than my parents and siblings. My father is dark and handsome, so maybe I inherited his genes. But I still don't understand why people have to question and sometimes make fun of me. They would say, 'Oh, maybe they switched babies in the hospital. This isn't your real child.' Even though I was still young and in primary school at that time, I knew what they were saying. It's not like I didn't feel sad. I would cry at night when I remembered those comments. I even asked my mother before, 'Am I too dark, sis?' My mother said, 'You're dark and beautiful, my dear. Let people say what they want. You're still my child. I was also dark when I was young. I just used Safi to lighten my skin. Hahaha.' So I felt relieved hearing that. Maybe when I grow up, I'll be as fair as my mother.`
