Antoinette Landor offers the following advice to help people heal from skin-tone trauma:

• Acknowledge that colorism exists through individual, institutional, and cultural encounters and that it occurs across races.
• Have difficult conversations about the implications of colorism.
• Identify and define words that might cause skin-tone trauma and be aware of how those words might affect others.
• Believe others when they are open about trauma implications of colorism they are experiencing.
