This week, I had the pleasure of chatting with a guest on my weekly live. She’s brilliant, real, and funny! Read her bio and Watch or Listen to our dialogue below.
BIO: Viva (Satirella) is a fourth year student at Cornell University who has a keen interest in social inequalities with a focus on colorism and the rise of skin bleaching products. Growing up in Ghana, West Africa, she noticed the differential treatment between dark skinned individuals like herself and their lighter skinned counterparts. Her tiktok platform seeks to bring awareness to this issue which many Africans deny or overlook, and has received some backlash as a result. Nonetheless, as she likes to say “ I have a mouth on me, and I am not afraid to use it!” She comes for anyone who comes at her sideways, and does not allow anyone to stop her from speaking her truth!
