He’s coming after me.”
It started when I was sixteen. My parents—strict, image-obsessed, and deeply colorist—told me I was “too dark.” They said I’d never find success or love with the skin...

When my fiancé, Michael Reynolds, invited me to meet his parents, I expected some awkwardness. His family was rich—seriously rich. Their estate sat on five manicured acres in...
