Leila Taylor Reveals She Attempted to Bleach Her Skin at Age 10

What was said

"I remember one of my like worst experiences in high school is one night I actually attempted to bleach my skin, which is so sad. That I even did that, but I just thought I had to do all these extremes just to fit in."

Taylor disclosed a traumatic childhood experience of attempting to bleach her skin at age 10 while growing up as one of the few Black children in a predominantly white Mormon area in Utah. She described internalizing white beauty standards and believing she needed to lighten her skin to be accepted by peers.
