Impact on Cultural Identity
The impact of Vybz Kartel’s skin lightening on cultural identity is complex. On one hand, it reflects personal choices influenced by societal norms and the globalized beauty industry. On the other hand, it highlights ongoing issues of colorism and the pressure to conform to Western beauty standards. In Jamaican culture, where skin color has historically been a sensitive topic, Kartel’s choices have intensified the conversation about self-acceptance and the impact of external beauty standards. His case serves as a focal point for discussions about how societal expectations influence personal decisions and self-
perception.
