You can buy them almost anywhere in the world: beauty products that promise to turn even the darkest-skinned person as fair as snow. What is behind the obsession with lighter skin? And why are women, in particular, risking their health to become, as they're called in Bulawayo, Yellowbones? In this week's edition of Speak UP! we talk to young people about artificial skin lighteners. From a young woman who regrets once using them, to a young man who is only attracted to light-skinned women, we hear the motivations behind the choices. Speak UP! is an audio show in which young Africans discuss thorny social issues without pulling any punches. It is created by a selection of young hosts and producers in Zimbabwe, South Sudan, Rwanda, Nigeria and Kenya, working in partnership with local media organizations and RNW. Each edition of Speak UP! provides YOU with a chance to express yourself - because everybody wants to be heard.
