dark skin beauties

I have several blogs and I love my Tumblr blog a lot because it is great for creative expression. I also love the Tumblr community. It is youthful, spirited and supportive.

It was very cool that on June 6, 2016, the community had a Dark Skin Appreciation Day to celebrate the gorgeous melanin-drenched women of the community. Also, people all over got a chance to feature and celebrate the beauties in their lives and on their Women Crush list.

Really, Dark Skin Appreciation should be everyday, but still it’s cool that we get to have a day all to ourselves! Love it!

Here are a few Cocoa-complexioned beauties, some I know personally and some I stumbled upon on Tumblr and others I got from Instagram because why leave the ladies on there out? ha!
