Skin is a feature documentary that captures sceneries from the South West and South South part of Nigeria, the movie identifies the meaning of beauty in all shades of black. Beverly Naya goes on a journey to learn about contrasting perceptions of beauty. She speaks to school children, traders, artists, beauty entrepreneurs, and sex workers. This narrative is interwoven by poignant personal accounts of individuals who have dealt with the pressure to conform to certain standards of beauty, revealing how colorism continues to shape the face of society in Nigeria. Beverly concludes her journey with a trip to her hometown exploring her rich cultural heritage with her mother and grandmother. Here we have three generations of beautiful black women who, through sheer hard work and self-love, have built useful businesses laying a solid legacy for her and many like her to build upon.

“This [documentary] is not an anti-bleaching campaign,” says Beverly Naya while speaking on the Red Carpet at the premiere, instead the documentary aims to inspire self-love and self-acceptance.
