I am beautiful and so are you

Written by Thabisile Sambo

Meet Layla — a bright, bold little girl who knows exactly who she is.

She’s joyful. She’s curious. She’s confident.

And most of all, she’s deeply in love with the skin she’s in.

Layla doesn’t just celebrate her own beauty — she honours the beauty she sees in every child around her.

From deep brown to honey gold, coily crowns to soft twists, wide noses to gap-toothed grins — she sees it all, and she sees it as good.

Because to Layla, different doesn’t mean better or worse.
