They said I would be ugly and masculine and “darker”if I cut my hair so I cut it 😌

My mom(Sierra Leonean) started this month by telling me that I was getting darker and I should start applying brightening creams lmaoooo. I then proceeded to ask her if I could cut my hair and she said I’m going to be ugly asf especially now that I’m “darker” and I’m also skinny so she says I will look malnourished too. I don’t believe any of that so I cut it and this has been the best decision ever this year. I am a beautiful stunning black queen who has embraced all of her features, hair, skin, nose and everything. I feel confident wearing my short natural hair and if you have anything negative to say it’s because I’m prettier than you(my mom included)😛
