For the past two months, we were able to use our voice, knowledge, and privilege to share our advocacy to the media.
We've discussed different eye openers with regard to one of the most prominent issues in our country, the unequal representation of skin color. We've also met different people who share the same advocacy as us. And we have tackled things about dealing with the social issue that we are facing today.
It was a roller-coaster ride. The joy of making the Morena people out there feel loved and accepted. The fulfillment of knowing that you are doing something to make this community a safer place for everyone. And the emptiness of knowing that this issue still has a long way to go before it completely ends.
All of these were felt, but the word that will sum it all up? EMPOWERING.
We are grateful to everyone who showed their support to this campaign and we are beyond delighted that we were able to freely share our advocacy.
As this page comes to an end, our advocacy will remain and we still hope that this movement will be the start of something bigger and better.
It was a tough two-month ride, and it was all worth it.
Thank you for sticking with us. Remember to stand proud because I am more, we are more.

Dealing with Discrimination and Strengthening Confidence!
Now that we have already tackled the issues involving the unequal representation of skin color and its effect to the masses, let's talk about the ways we can cope with discrimination.
Remember to read, comprehend, and apply the things listed below. We are in this battle together, Morena! 🤎

Different people have different experiences. But what do people of color have in common? They have experienced discrimination because of their skin color.
A research conducted in 2019 showed the Hispanic Discrimination Experiences by Skin Color and the results are, as usual, disappointing but not surprising.
May this EYE OPENER serve as a reminder that people are still being treated harshly and we need to do something to avoid it. Stay tuned to our next post for we'll be discussing the things that we can do to fight this battle. 🤎

"Colorism doesn't even exist!" "It's just all in your heads." "Colorism is not that big of a problem. Just get over it!"
Do not be deceived by these words, everyone! Colorism is indeed a problem and it really does exist! Read this EYE OPENER below to know more about the face of colorism.
We, as a community, should face this sad reality while making a conscious effort of fighting and beating the problem that we are experiencing. By equally loving everyone, no matter the skin color, we can make a better place, especially for the Morenas/Morenos/, to live in. 🤎

"The 2022 survey data reveals that Asian Americans are not alone in experiences of hate violence. Critically, all non-white groups report experiencing hate crimes or hate incidents in the period from January 2021 through early March 2022"
It is a sad and disturbing truth that a lot of people experience hate crimes, but experiencing it because of someone's race and color is even more threatening.
Read more about this information in our EYE OPENER below.
May this serve as a reminder that no matter how different you think someone is in terms of race and color, they deserve all the love that you can give. Here in I'morena, love is given with no exceptions. 🤎

THE ADVOCATES ☀️
| Meet Ms. Asia Jackson, an Actress, Producer, Content Creator, and Advocate
Her experiences in a society where unfair treatment towards people who have 'darker' skin color is something that every morena have experienced.
But with the connections she made with other people who have the same color as her, she was able to own what she has.
It is important to surround yourself with people who value and treasure you no matter what color your skin is. So this is a reminder that a healthy and inclusive community is the beginning of confidence, love, and acceptance. And it starts with you! 🤎

THE ADVOCATES ☀️
| Meet Ms. Ayn Bernos, the CEO of 'Morena The Label.'
In this post, she talked about what pushed her to build her own clothing line that aims to serve as a stepping stone to a healthier relationship with one's natural skin color.
It is admirable how one's advocacy can also empower others and Ms. Ayn Bernos is a living representation of that.
In her journey to loving and owning her skin color, we can learn that we are the start of something bigger and greater. So stand up, stay confident, and love the color that you have! 🤎

"For the rest of my teenagehood, I bore the pain and discomfort that came with attempts to lighten my brown skin." - Jen Laforteza
Filipina teenagers have been experiencing this problem with their "Filipino skin" but have you ever wondered how this whole thing is so deeply-rooted in our society? Well, it all boils down to the Spanish colonization that happened years ago.
People with light skin were favored more, making it a social standard that having light-skin automatically makes you beautiful and more likable. And that, friends, is the problem that we are facing today.
You may read this EYE OPENER below and learn more about the history of colorism in the Philippines. Share your thoughts in the comment section and let's talk about it!
A friendly reminder that your dignity should never be dependent on your skin color. Let us celebrate our melanin, Morenas! And let us proudly shout, "I'm Morena!" 🤎
