The Western concept of beauty, rooted in Eurocentric ideals, has historically marginalized African features, deeming them inferior through media, colorism, and discriminatory practices. This colonial bias persists in underrepresenting Black traits while commodifying them when adopted by others. Contemporary Black music, fashion, and art celebrate African aesthetics and pride but can also perpetuate harmful stereotypes or behaviors that undermine cultural integrity. Movements like Black is Beautiful and natural hair advocacy, , counteract these challenges. By embracing diverse beauty and rejecting destructive narratives, Black creatives can affirm identity and foster inclusivity and cultural pride.
