Sometimes selfies can be a very powerful thing.
This week a global movement is taking over Instagram – for a good reason. Started by three students from the University of Texas, the #UnfairAndLovely trend is a celebration of darker skin, and a protest against the prevalent shadism in the South Asian community.
Its creators were inspired by a project by Pax Jones, a 21-year-old black student also at the University of Texas.
Pax took some stunning photos of her South Asian friends, Mirusha and Yanusha Yogarajah.
