The Small Things: A Tale of Two Lotions

This week, we're sharing this hilarious and poignant article by David Kaufman, contributing writer at Lenny. David is biracial - part Black, part white and Jewish (just like Cyndie!). His article describes the trials and tribulations he faced with lotion during childhood, a rite of passage for Black children to prevent ashy skin, and a protectant from the sun for white children. Go to the original Lenny article to read the whole story. Here is an excerpt:


I simply couldn’t win. So I would stand to the side, my skin naked and cracking, wondering what it would take for me to ever enjoy such topical pleasures. Years later, I discovered that both camps were wrong: when I failed to apply suntan lotion, my skin baked and died and scaled on my limbs to form a fine layer of (YES!) ash that begged for that slathering of Eucerin. Folks like me, it seems, can become ashy — so much so that there’s now an entire online world devoted to biracial kids and the battle against ash.

Thank you, David, for telling it like it is!
