8-Year-Old Daughter Asked Me If She Was Beautiful

Once a little daughter came to her mother and asked why her skin tone is darker than other kids in the community. As their parents belong to India and currently living in the UK. So, I got disturbed and thought about the ideas she can do for her daughter to grow up independently beyond these complexions. She has an aim that when her daughter grows up she has her own beautiful identity she can praise for not others.

And that’s how she started this venture and named it “ changing the conversation”. This topic is inspired by her daughter and she wants to change her conversation about scars and beauty as she is growing up. She said our scars and marks are worth praising not only the beauty is to be praised. In this world, we have to learn that these scars are also worth praise.

In this beautiful inspirational duration, she met a lot of people with dark scars and stories and she turned them into creativity. She contributed a little effort for the world in “ changing the conversation”. She becomes creative and produces worthwhile material for her daughter.
