      Kent Brooks white does mean pure. She’s talking about the color, not the skin color. White all in all is associated with being clean and pure. That’s why we wear white wedding dresses and not black ones. Being pure has always been a good thing for centuries now. It’s not something you can forget. And also, wearing a blonde wig, doesn’t mean she wants to be white, or think that white is better. Just like if a white person got dreads, it doesn’t mean they want to be black. Just means they like that kind of hairstyle.

    I think the skin whitening thing is a marketing ploy. It's a brilliantly self serving and nefarious concept because it's perpetuating such a hateful ideal. The angle she's taking with it proves she doesn't care about her fans, just the money. That's sad. That said, she has real talent and appeal if she would just be herself and stop trying to be Nicki Minaj, like SO HARD! She could be this awesome African burst of flava but she's too busy being Nicki....

Just because someone isn't known in this country (America) doesn't mean they can't be the beyonce of their country. We as Americans app an be so closed minded.

    I don't know anything about this particular product, but other skin bleaching products are dangerous, physically (even fatal(, not just self esteem.
    Can't understand where Denicia has the nerve to say to Phinnah Ikeji she's not 'natural' because she has a bit of lipstick on!! Has she looked at herself in the mirror? Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and what I behold is Denicia looks like a hot mess!
    And it's a shame, because not only dos she have self hatred for her skin colour/tone, she hates her hair as well. I can more abide the wig, cus she can always stop wearing it (if it hasn't damaged her real hair), but what is she to do about reversing the effects of bleaching her skin?

      I don't know if i should be shocked by your comment or fee pity for you. If you haven't already noticed society raises kids regardless of how much influence your parents have on you. Half of the day kids are in school(society which is mostly made up of the media and celebs,) learning from whats around them they have no control over what they encounter or witness, no control over what they hear and no matter how strong of a person you are your unconscious mind soon begins to take in certain experiences, encounters, or conversations and they influence you knowing or unknowingly. Personally i don't consider her my role model and i feel very happy in my own dark skin but it takes a while to get to thats point(speaking for dark skin kids) yes my parents are my role models and i am grateful but not every child has parents some kids are in foster care, or their parents are constantly working to out a roof over their heads so when your asking don't they have parents THINK BEYOND YOUR NOSE. I would highly recommend you to take sociology. *this is coming from a 12th grader*

      in my own opinion, she can clan claimed that her role model was her grandma,
      but where she came from, what did she have unless her grandma,
      what is really her background?

    There's nothing wrong with wanting even-toned skin, but it's taking it a step to far when you're using chemicals and products to lighten the overall complexion of your skin. I hate that there are people out there who don't like the complexion of their skin. What's wrong with variety? What's wrong with darker or lighter skin complexions? I wish society didn't make having darker skin seem like a bad thing. Why can't we all just focus on being ourselves? Why do we need to be like everyone else? I just wish and hope for the day that every human being learns to love themselves for who they are and accept everyone else the same.

If that's the problem here, then why don't we also interview all those celebrities that undergo plastic surgery to change how they look. They might also be 'influencing' young girls and damaging their self esteem. This is absolute crap! everyone has their choices. Dencia is a business woman and she is doing well. Let's leave it at that and stop bringing up petty controversies. There are far more important products, ideas and services in the world today that cause harm both mentally and physically to young girls.

I guess let everybody be what they want to be. Whether if we dark, light, medium complexion. It's their opinion. I gets really dark in the summer and very light in the winter but still loving it. The only thing I'm not confident about myself is uneven skin tone on my face my forehead, nose, chin is really dark and my cheeks is really light.

    She missed what they were trying to communicate to her. It's not just about the shade of your skin or imperfections, it's about *representation*. It's about the younger generation. If all the WOC who are well-known in the world were bleaching their skin-- such as Oprah Winfrey or Lupita Nyong'o-- that would send the message to younger WOC that being a WOC is something to be ashamed of.
    No little girl should ever feel like she isn't normal or that she isn't beautiful the way she is.
    On a side note, Beyonce has been named the world's most influential person, Lupita is named the most beautiful person in the world by People's magazine, And Oprah Winfrey's net worth is 2.9 billion.
    There is nothing more important than getting your name out there, especially if you are a minority in some way, and representing who you are and your roots. *There is nothing more important than being a person who sets the right example for the younger generations to come.*

    How tragic! It's a shame that Phinnah Ikeji didn't really give a good account of herself by defending her position more articulately, but who can blame her? She was really up against it. Dencia simply crushed the opposition in the only manner she knows best; she's got her talking points and she's sticking to them. And she does so aggressively. Whatever opinions you may have of her and her products, she's not backing down. The fact that it is selling means that many women are buying it. And she's right in a way. She's not saying buy Whitenicious and look like me. It is implied, and so caveat emptor. Those who are foolish enough to want to look like her already have the desire to bleach their skins by whatever means is necessary. All across the world, from Asia, the Americas, to Africa, brown skinned women are bleaching their skins, and she's cashing in on that insecurity, irrespective of how she comes across. I'll never bleach or allow my child to do it, but who can't stop adults from doing as they please.
    This interview was a car-crash.
    So like I said, caveat emptor.

      Make up and eyelashes are just to enhance your beauty and they do not permanently change you however skin bleaching is done to change your skin color and it can cause cancer.
