Colorism is a social construct rooted in racism. Although it is true that progress has been made toward equality and diversity, Colorism is still a prevalent issue that affects many individuals. The preference for lighter skin and Eurocentric features is deeply rooted in society and has a harmful impact on people with darker skin. Colorism is a social phenomenon that historically favored individuals with lighter skin over those with darker skin, even within the same racial group. This qualitative research utilized semistructured interviews to explore and understand the emotional, psychosocial, and psychological impacts on dark and brown African American women regarding skin color discrimination. An interpretive phenomenological analysis was used to collect data from 15 dark and brown African American women aged 18-65. The significance of this phenomenon generated nine themes: Viewing Colorism through the same lens, Awareness of Colorism introduced at an early age, Family influences and messages, Intra-racial discrimination, Self-esteem/self-worth, Coping resilience, Derogatory language and messages, Accepting your skin tone, and Teaching self-love. The themes distinguish the participants' lived experiences with Colorism and provide insight into racial socialization influencing intra-racial impacts, social media and television impacts on perceptions of beauty-the impact on romantic relationships and physical appearance, including skin bleaching, self-esteem, and self-worth, finally, the impacts in professional and in academics. The research findings suggest that individuals who experience Colorism often feel intentionally overlooked and unchosen. They may struggle with self-denial, low self-esteem, self-worth, and physical well-being. The impact of Colorism is influenced by various factors such as Family, Media, and Social aspects. The findings indicate that all participants were impacted by their experience of some form of Colorism throughout their lifetime.
