Who are We?
Dark Hues is a digital magazine which champions Dark-skinned People of Colour.
We want to create a safe space to showcase our talents, our stories and our faces.
Why Dark-skinned People of Colour?
Overall, the majority of People of Colour are under-represented or misrepresented.
This representation then lessens the more melanin we have. ‘Colourism’ as Lupita Nyong’o calls it “the daughter of racism” plays a big part and this platform is a way for us to challenge those ideals and create beautiful positive content exclusively for us.
When she is told, her skin is ‘too dark’. I do not hesitate to offer ‘that the sun loved her so much, it kissed her more than the rest of us’
