LOVE YOUR ETHNICITY

Before moving to my current city, I was constantly the token Asian.  I always wanted to be the same as everyone else: golden skin, blond hair and blue eyes.  

I went to the tanning salon, purchased honey highlights and even dawned a pair of blue contacts. But eventually I realized that I can't change who I am.  I am ethnic; I am Chinese; And I need to embrace my culture and my look.  

There are so many beautiful women in the world, each with her own ethnicity.  If they can embrace themselves for who they are, so can I.

Here are some of these beautiful, ethnic women:
