    "I used to think I was being over-sensitive." @olive_sang says that, as a dark skinned model, she gets looked at differently. Ladies, have you ever felt overlooked or given an edge because of your complexion? Send a video message to our WhatsApp on +447832802238. #BBCGirlTalkpic.twitter.com/qogSvpMaqi

        I agree with you girl. God created human beings with a range of complexion, but all are beautiful. Flowers have different petal colours too. But all this range is there to appreciate diversity and not discrimination.
