Burgeoning Nigerian actress, Caroline Igben has said that she will not bleach her skin to conform to Nollywood standards.

The dark-skinned fast-rising movie star made this known during her recent interview.

In her words:

“When I was younger I used to think that light-skinned women were more beautiful but right now I walk with a certain awareness and I’m very confident. I love my skin colour a lot.”

Igben, however, noted that she had lost some movie roles due to her skin color.

“Although I had lost some movie roles because I am dark-skinned but it didn’t push me to bleach. This was because I had certain people in my life who made me feel super beautiful. But I sincerely, I think with maturity and self-awareness comes certain confidence of knowing who you are and how people’s opinions on what they consider beautiful shouldn’t faze you. Black is super beautiful,” she said.
