Tinashe Says She Can’t Win Cuz of Her Skin Color

Tinashe isn't really happy about her career.  She hasn’t exactly reached the height that she thought would but she knows why!

  She thinks its cuz she is light skinned.  ***insert eye rolling emoji***  

In a recent interview the singer said, “There’s colorism involved in the black community, which is very apparent.  It’s about trying to find a balance where I’m a mixed woman, and sometimes I feel like I don’t fully fit into the black community; they don’t fully accept me, even though I see myself as a black woman. That disconnect is confusing sometimes. I am what I am.”
