 PLAN OF INVESTIGATION

Topic: Physical Enhancement

Sub topic: Consequences of skin bleaching
The major topic that i will be investigating is physical enhancement because I’ve been observing
how people are being rejected because of their appearance. I tend to focus primarily on the
consequences of skin bleaching .I choose this sub topic to know more about its negative effect so
i can educate my friends and family about the dangers of this practice.I tend to gather details by
consulting YouTube for potential video's ,browse the internet for article and also poems . I
expect to develop a better speaking skill to speak more fluently in my oral report , a better
editing skills to become a better writer in my reflection one and also a summarizing of
information skill to help me extract the most important point in my reflection two .

Artefact One

She scratched her black beauty;

The African colour I always loved.

She became a dissenting chameleon;

In dire need of unhealthy budget

She deserted my lovely culture-

And took the resemblance of albino.

To her black is absence of beauty!

Domestic work no longer as usual;

For the skinless meat abhors heat

Kitchen is a shit hell on earth

Just delicate as fragile mirror;

Minor surgeries lead to complication-

Cancerous, infertile blonde?

What a disgusting mess!

She wants outside like a street-walker,

My love fades as her skin fades

Of her the smile I admired,

Are they sketches of weeps?

With hers my plans are in bull's fight;

For her enormous needs I can't suffice.

Glory is in the original, just repent!

Artefact Two

I bleach my skin for a 20 years.

I felt way more beautiful and I was really happy

Sorry, hello my name is Aïssata. I'm a YouTuber and makeup artist.

I also have a website: blackbadi.fr

I bleached my skin for 20 years, and I started when I was 15 years old.

When I was young I was really shy, and I had no self-confidence at all.

I was in my own world.

My mother complimented me all the time, she would tell me my skin was a beautiful color, she didn't
want me to bleach my skin at all.

What led me to believe that being lighter skinned means being more beautiful was actually my cousin.
She bleached her skin.

Complimented her, saying she was beautiful.

That's what made me want to do it.

I wanted to be beautiful myself.

For me it was a complex.

I thought maybe by bleaching my skin I'd get more attention.

I'd get more compliments

From then on my life changed.

I felt way more beautiful and I was really happy.

People even asked me what products I used, they said that I had my skin, that I had clean skin.

It's a term a lot of people use.

Clean: it makes it sound like black skin is dirty.

Deep down, I knew the products were dangerous, but I still carried on doing it.

The more I bleached, the more I liked what I saw.

The thing that made me stop was a patch on my chest that was itching me.

It made me scratch myself a lot, there was pus coming out.

I thought, "Now, I've really messed up".

The patch disappeared sometime later.

But that's when I thought maybe it's a sign to stop.

I've been using these products for 20 years at that point, and 20 years isn't nothing.

When I was young, I was so... I didn't feel noticed.

I kept myself to myself and I thought that if I ever stop bleaching it could be like going backwards.

Sorry.

I didn't have an easy childhood.

I had no self-confidence at all.

I was dark and for me, at that time, being dark meant not being beautiful.

I didn't feel beautiful.

I was actually scared.

I should say that I stopped several times and I always pick it up back.

When I got pregnant, I stopped because I was aware of the risks, I knew it was dangerous.

Whenever I've been pregnant, I have always stopped, but I also always started again afterwards.

When I decided to stop for a good it wasn't easy.

It was in the middle of summer, it was hot, which meant my skin got really dark and really quickly.

But I told myself, from deep within, I have to try and stop because it wasn't a life.

I had to do whatever it took to get my original skin color back.

There's always side effects, my stretch marks have been deformed by the products.

My skin cracked and that's impossible to repair.

I can't turn back time, unfortunately, these marks will always remind me of my mistake.

Today, I'm taking responsibility.

I embrace my skin color.

I tell myself I did the right thing by stopping.

Because I get as many compliments as I did before.

I feel beautiful and I embrace my skin color and I'm really proud of my decision.

I have two daughters that are dark skin like me.

When I stopped I decided to talk about it, to tell them about my mistake, because I don't want them to
make the same mistake I did.

I remember, I told my daughters, "keep your skin color you're beautiful".

You have to embrace your skin color.

It's what makes us who we are.

It's part of our identity.

My oldest said, "Mom, I'm not crazy!"

I know that in society we lack representation.

Black women, we aren't celebrated, and that place a huge role in it.

As a mother, it's important to show them their value.

I give my girls a lot of compliments.

They have to learn to love themselves, to love the color of their skin.

I often tell them they're beautiful with their skin color.

So if I have one message for you, it's to encourage you to keep your original skin color.

Out skin color is our identity.

Skin color is not what defines beauty, so embrace and love yourself as you are.

We're all beautiful.

Reflection ONE

Consequences of skin bleaching was always known to be dangerous and harmful to me

before starting the SBA.

The first piece of artefact i read was a written poem by Yussif Maktar entitled bad
bleach .The poem mainly tells how a girl destroyed her naturally black colour and was
later disliking herself the more she lighten her complexion . The girl was later suffering
from it for she could no longer live the normal life style.

The second artefact was an video by Beauty Studio.In the video the YouTuber was
basically informing the listeners about the low confidence she had with her skin and how
she regrets the choice she made in the past .

The third artifact was an audio entitled "bleaching Mi Clean Skin". The artiste was
basically informing the listeners of the diverse type of chemical that he used to get the
attention of the females which help me to understand that person are carried away by
body modifications to attract genders .

All in all, the artifact chosen for this research have develop my compression for skin
bleaching and the negative effects it has on the body. I also became more self- aware
and I’m more informed about how your natural looks really matter.

Reflection Two
The first artefact a poem entitled Bad Bleach was descriptive. Literally device like
metaphor (the kitchen is a shit hell on earth ) brings about the thought that the female
could no longer endure the heat of cooking for it will be dangerous for her skin The
literally device help to further develop the image the writer is trying to portray.

The second artefact a video that was published by make-up perfect Bandado was
reflective . The you tuber sounded regretful as she started to feel remorse for the
choice she made in the past because of the lack of self esteem.

The third piece artefact was an audio done by savage . The artiste repetition were
emphasized through the saying( 'mi bleaching, mi clean skin , mi cream skin') which
made it clear that the chemical the artiste is using on his skin is having him to look
blonde.

Reflection Three

This school base assessment made me perceive that person are using skin lightening
products because of the lack of self-esteem and are being judged because of their
appearance. The sub topic has helped me to have more self-confidence and to always
remind myself that i am beautiful the way I am. The sub topic has inspired me to not
only educate but also warn others about the dangers and side effect of skin
bleaching .While working in groups it was very Beneficial for everyone was willing to
co-operate with each other by sharing relevant ideas . The members of my group
were partaking in helping each other to get the work done more quickly and by
presenting their information at the right time. In the process of completing my SBA ,my
summarizing skills were improve when i had to limit the word limit in my reflection .
While working in group I've notice that my discipline has increase due to the fact that the
members in my group was willing to co-operate with each other without encountering
any problems .
