Vera Sidika’s Skin Lightening Saga Makes It to the New York Post .She Gets Compared to Lupita Nyong’o

Its official Vera Sidika has gone global; this is all thanks to her skin lightening procedure that has been met with resistance by a whole load of people.

What makes this story interesting though is that vera has now denied that she bleached and that is really pissing a lot of people. I guess because society expected her to apologize, become ashamed or run into hiding for being ‘a bad role model’

The news of her lethal quest for beauty and the backlash she has received has gone global and she was recently featured on Page Six of the New York post as ‘Kenya’s Kim Kardashian’

Part of the post read:

“Until her appearance on Kenya’s “#TheTrend,” she’d been adored for her curves. The news of her shallow quest for beauty threw many of her fans into an uproar.
Even though it’s dangerous, skin lightening is gaining popularity in Africa, with women flocking to makeshift clinics for the procedure. Sidika, 24, is just one of the women who chose to come forward about her desire for lighter skin.

Ironically, Oscar winner Lupita Nyong’o, also from Kenya, has been celebrated around the world for her natural hair and deep cocoa skin. But many Kenyan women adhere to another, more European style of beauty — using hair extensions and bleaching creams.”
