Kelly Rowland: “I Don’t Want To Be As Dark As I Am”
Kelly Rowland looks amazing as always on the cover of Runway Magazine fall 2011 issue. The current baddest chick in the game opens up about going through an identity crisis as a child. Kelly shares her story about going to a predominantly white school and having issues with her complexion.
“There’s so much peer pressure growing up, I had an identity crisis. I went to a predominantly white school and I was the only black girl. I can remember thinking: ‘I don’t want to be as dark as I am – I want to be a little fairer.’ I didn’t want to be me…Tina sat me in front of the mirror and said: ‘Girl, look at how pretty you are.’ She made me feel comfortable in my own skin.”
Check out the behind the scenes footage from her cover shoot below.
