Bobi Wine’s wife, Barbie Kyagulanyi has used her sister as an example to caution Ugandan gals against bleaching. In a post on Facebook, Barbie says women should love their skin complexion and if they must bleach, they should whiten their dark hearts. She posted:
“I have a sister,her name is Bre.
In the pic below,Bre is wearing a denim top dress.
Bre is darker than her two sisters.
Bre is comfortable in her skin.
She doesn’t bleach.
Be like Bre. Love your skin tone,be confident of your dark self. If you must bleach, whiten your dark heart and leave your beautiful dark skin alone.
I could say much more than this but 70 percent of my friends bleach! It makes me sad that even when I openly tell them how degrading it looks,none of them takes me serious. Bleaching is a symptom of your low self esteem. Please desist from it.”
