The debate over skin-lightening in Kenya recently resurfaced after comments by Risper Faith sparked a social media storm. Known as ‘mkorogo’ locally, the use of these products has long been a topic of discussion.
Enter Vera Sidika, a prominent figure in the spotlight. Her own journey with skin-lightening has not gone unnoticed, and she’s not shying away from the conversation.
In a recent online exchange, one user praised Vera’s transformation, igniting a flurry of comments. Vera herself chimed in, urging those considering skin-lightening to ‘do it right.’
But this isn’t the first time Vera has addressed the issue. Four years ago, she candidly spoke about her decision to undergo skin-lightening treatment on national television. Despite facing criticism, Vera stood firm, declaring, ‘Never be defined by your past.’
In a world where appearance is often scrutinized, Vera’s bold stance challenges norms and sparks important conversations about beauty standards and self-expression. Love it or hate it, her story is undeniably captivating.”
