#KylieJennerChallenge

Well, I felt compelled to make a comment about this #KylieJennerChallenge. I think this new viral Instagram trend is absolutely ridiculous. Young poeple, male and female alike, seem to be sitting around and waiting for the next 'big thing' or trend to roll around so they can post pictures of themselves and others doing it. Not attempting to utilize the creativity in their mind to produce something that's actually worth promoting.

They use suction techniques to temporarily enlarge their lips with the aim of looking like Kylie Jenner. Some ending up with bruised lips as well as egos.

There are reasons why women of color like myself do not support this, for discriminatory reasons. Big lips have always been a sense of ridicule for African people and things like these just add to the plate. But this is not what I'm here to discuss.

The best think that could come out of this post is having someone love who they and what they have to offer. What society is projecting as normal and beautiful sometimes isn't. Love who you are and what you can bring to the table. #LoveMeChallenge
