Myskinglobal is co-led by Francoise Mbabazi and Yehoyada, both of Rwandan origin. Francoise was born and raised in Uganda, and she is a passionate human rights activist, international public speaker, and community engagement leader with over 20 years of diverse experience in the nonprofit and philanthropic sectors. She is dedicated to empowering youth, women, and girls, and she excels in relationship building, program development, and management to foster economic empowerment and social justice.
She grew up around people who felt inadequate and less beautiful because of their skin color. A culture where this practice was the norm. Frustrated by this tradition, she went out to research further. In trying to understand why, the dangers of this global $20+B pandemic targeting Black and Brown people spurred the formation of MySkinglobal, an organization dedicated to changing the conversation about skin color biases and instil selflove and self admiration in the skin you're in.
To decrease mental health challenges in BIPOC youth, disrupt the practice of skin bleaching, and see every child have confidence and self-admiration in the skin they are in!
To become #1 in advocacy on skin health, decrease colorism biases, and reduce the number of black and brown youth engaging in skin bleaching through educational curricular strategies.
