Finding Comfort In You with Chika Okoro
In this episode, we discuss finding security within yourself, the impacts of colorism, and the positive outlooks that can come from seeing role models that look like yourself. Chika Okoro became inspired in an unlikely place – a Straight Outta Compton casting call with standards of beauty, skin color and size that labeled her a “D Girl”. Chika’s personal experience with colorism pushed her to make a change and inform others on not only the issues that she faced, but also her hope for the future.

This future would include people being good to<br />
other human beings – regardless of<br />
accomplishments, wealth, or skin color, and<br />
having more balance in the role models and<br />
powerful people that our society looks up to.<br />
<strong>Chika</strong>’s mission is to help people to love<br />
themselves more, for who they truly are, and<br />
remember that it’s okay for us to look and be<br />
different than each other – actually, it’s<br />
completely normal and should be fully<br />
accepted.
