Our perception of life is expressed through our eating habits. So if you:
eat slowly and thoughtfully, you’re able to appreciate life and are used to keeping everything under control.
eat quickly, you’re purposeful, impatient, ambitious, and open to everything new.
like trying new dishes, you love risk and adventures.
are fastidious with what you eat, you are nervous and prone to anxiety.
mix your food, you’re responsible but often mess up your priorities. You’re also able to multitask.
divide foods on your plate and eat each part separately, you’re used to thoroughly planning your life and have difficulty adapting to new circumstances.
It all started when Rogers was bullied for her skin tone. According to Mic, Rogers was bullied extensively as she was growing up:
“I’ve been bullied a lot, like in the first grade, I went to school with just four other black kids. And kids used to bully me because they weren’t used to my skin tone. There was an incident with a teacher and we had to draw ourselves and she gave us a black crayon instead of a brown crayon, and I was really upset.”
Rogers faced colorism in its worst form and may have even felt ashamed of her skin tone.
Recently, Rogers’s sister, Taylor Pollard, tweeted about her sister to brighten her day.
@TaylorAndrea_ ur sister is absolutely stunning! But beyond that the vid shows she has lots of confidence & spunk! We're going 2need her strength someday!
The responses to the tweet showed the sisters the severity of the problem and inspired them to act. Pollard told Mic about what inspired her sister to respond:
“Kheris really thought she was the only one going through this, but Kheris now realizes that this is a global issue… That’s what pushed Kheris, because she thought ‘If I’m feeling this way, then we want to help others who are feeling bad about themselves too.'”
So Rogers created her own clothing line, Flexin’ In My Complexion. Its primary mission is to boost people’s confidence.
Here are some of the main pieces of the collection.
Pollard told Mic that she hopes people, and especially younger kids, will start feeling more confident in their own skin.
“I just hope that especially for younger kids, people start to feel more confident in their skin… It doesn’t matter how dark or light you are, just knowing that it’s beautiful and that your complexion doesn’t determine your beauty.”
The sisters are planning to expand the line to get ready for summer and hope to design crop tops and fitted T-shirts.
Pollard and Rogers deserve a special thank you for bringing attention to a serious issue facing society today. We hope their line continues to grow, and that they continue to help others feel comfortable just the way they are.
