Sanaa Lathan does Skin Flick - Essence Music Festival 2008



Uploaded by: blacktreemedia
Video Description:
Tony Award Nominated Actress, Sanaa Lathan, sits down with Corey Chavous to discuss her career, the Essence Music Festival, and her new documentary on skin.
*Skin is amazing: it covers our body, and reveals our soul. For many, skin is a symbol of pride, for others it's a canvas to tell a story - and for almost all it represents a heritage to be honored. Skin means something different to almost everyone you ask. As part of a Vaseline Cocoa Butter
campaign, people around the globe were asked: "what does your skin mean to you?" The responses, which were compiled in a short film called Vaseline Skin Stories, finds that while continents may divide us, the experience of skin unites us. The film, narrated by Tony Award- nominated act
ress Sanaa Lathan, premieres at the Essence Music Festival in New Orleans on July 4, 2008. The 20-minute Vaseline Skin Stories documentary, set against local, social and cultural backdrops, features personal narratives from across the world including the United States, South America, the Unit
ed Kingdom and Africa. The inspirational stories touch on the similarities and differences between people's skin as it relates to their lives. The film is enriched with a special voice over by Sanaa Lathan, as well as a brief introduction where Lathan shares her own personal story of what her
skin means to her: "My caramel brown skin represents me but also my history and those who came before me and will come after. They were all shades and beautiful. I honor, love and take pride in my skin because of them." The popular brand, Vaseline, is manufactured by Unilever. News Sou

I meant we ... ( 5 months ago by Charlys787)
I meant we basically all worth the same. Of cause we are all different. But the colour of your skin isnt that important. Its your culture and how you grow up. I think its more useful to talk about that, because we could affect this things, unlike the colour of your skin.
Why do we need to ... ( 5 months ago by blacktreemedia)
Why do we need to affect the colour of our skin. I mean, if I was from Bangladesh, I would be proud of my nose, or if I was from Sweden, I may be proud of my blond hair. That is all a part of us. it is not up for debate or something that we need to change. To me, it is more important to learn to appreciate the differences. I think that is why more college students are not as racist as non college students. Just being around so many different cultures gives you an appreciation for it.

continued - i know what you were trying to get at. I am not saying that what you are trying to say isn't genuine and that you are saying it with the best of intentions. but i just believe that we should love everything that makes us different instead of trying to be the same. Somebody once used the Salad bowl analogy, where we are all part of this Salad, but nobody wants a salad full of cucumbers and no tomatoes. You can be proud of your skin without having hatred for somebody else.
You dont get what I ... ( 5 months ago by Charlys787)
You dont get what I mean. I dont want anybody to affect their ethnic appearance but the education of their children, to be open-minded. Sadly my English is not good enough and I dont have enough time to discuss this with you in detail. One last thing. Its not wrong to be proud of being black or white. But its really hard to be tolerant to the others at the same time. Be careful. Many people could misunderstand your massage. Thanks for your response. Good bye!

I know what you mean. It seems though that lately, based on her role in "the family that preys together" (Tyler Perry) and her role on Nip Tuck, I hope she's not going to be typecast into a black super"bitch" cutthroat character.
