    MacG if u have ever wondered what ur purpose in life is? Your purpose in life is to help South Africans / people understand the human side in people we think are super human. They open themselves to you and that's your super power.

    MacG, I'm one of the people who in my head complains about you talking about too much sex and drugs but today I have to say that you letting Pearl just speak and let her feelings out was really commendable. You were really amazing, adaptability is everything.

      It shows how much representation around us really matters, and self love is everything.

I know I was also dissed when I was in primary about being light skin, people didn’t even believe I could speak SeSotho. It was painful for me because problem constantly told me that I don’t fit the mould of my identity and we’re constantly dictating my identity to me. I had to always prove that I’m black and SeSotho. It became a different problem when I started going to school with White people. No side is always great

    As a dark skinned black woman I completely understand Pearl. Today I truly understand. And it's true, I've never had a lack of career opportunities in SA just because of my skin colour. If anything, lighter women in Africa have been judged as blondes with less intellectual capabilities. The only thing that we've really experienced in SA is the European beauty standards that we have ourselves to blame for adopting in the first place. Light girls don't have it easy, maybe they get more sexual attention but is that even a benefit? Something to think about 🤔. Thank you for the pearls of wisdom. You're a real gem. 💎

      Yes, thank you; Im an American SO-CALLED "Black" Person (Note : Black, White, & African-American are not true Nationalities), & Colorism & the "White" standard of beauty are Worldwide; virtually every country, due to European Imperialism/Colonialism promotes Whiteness as the highest form of beauty, & that African features are ugly. Lighter skinned bi-Racials are praised as being more beautiful, light skin, green, blue, grey colored eyes, wavy/curly hair, etc. Many dark-skinned girls used Colorism as an excuse for their failures. Pearl Thusi would be considered gorgeous, by American standards.

    Definitely Mac G, you did very well with listening in this interview. And rightly so because this was probably the most intense interview, raw, emotional
    Also, Pearl has some pearls of wisdom and her thinking is quite engaging and educated - about life and people. The dream she has of African being able to negotiate with the world at an equal and level footing should not just be about the arts but about everything.
    Lets not even get into the conversation about the impact of apartheid and colonialism on our psychology as black people. This i maintain remains our biggest battle to fight. Freedom as we can see is not what we thought - mental freedom far supersedes any other freedom
