Get to Know Rashida Strober, the world’s first dark skin activist and the inventor of dark skin activism. No one has done what she has done & know that she is not just the flavor of the viral moment. Nahhhhhh.......sure millions came to know who she was through her commentary on the Rapper Kendrick Lamar back in 2015. Rashida’s commentary on the rapper took the world by storm via the power of social media and forced the conversation on dark skin to finally take place. People bashed her. People mocked her. People said she was crazy. People said “what in the world is a dark skin activist? She was stalked and harassed. She took the real hits for dark skin but since that time, many others have attempted to emulate her but none can emulate the real struggle of dark skin activism that she began back in 1998 in the trenches, way before the bright lights of social media shone upon her. Rashida gave birth to dark skin activism out of her own story at Saint Petersburg College in 1998 with her historic lecture on the Sudanese dark skinned beauty, Alek Wek and since that time has gone on to develop a body of work around dark skin, the only person to ever have done that at that time. Check the record! .

Rashida Strober is very consistent and the first author, actress and activist to focus her work exclusively on dark skin. Her commitment and dedication to equality for dark skinned people makes her the QUEEN of DARK SKIN!.She is the face of dark skin in a world that has long ignored the plight of dark skinned people. She coined the word “DARKISM” and wrote a book of the same title. She alone coined the phrase “dark skin activist” and “dark skin activism.” She is Rashida Strober, the one & only, queen of dark skin.
Our Sista brought dark skin activism to the internet in 2009 and has a proven track record of dark skin activism offline within her community. She created this paradigm back in 1998 out of her own dark skin experiences. This was before social media really existed, a time when everyone ignored the plight of dark skinned women. Back in 2012, the queen of dark skin’s dedication to dark skin issues showed when she created the first show on the internet and otherwise to exclusively focus on dark skin female issues. This was an epic moment in history because it had never been done before. Her pioneering show was called A Dark Skin Woman’s Revenge and aired on Get Live Radio in Clearwater, Florida.

The queen of dark skin has also written the most books on the topic of dark skin. Rashida has four books and two plays under her belt and is currently writing a 5th book on how she invented the concept of dark skin activism and its called Inventing Dark Skin Activism: the Rashida Strober Story. Her other books include, Darkism: 25 ways dark skin people are discriminated against, A Dark Skin Woman’s Revenge, How to be the hottest dark skin chick on the planet and A dark skin girl’s triumph: The Rashida Strober Story. The plays are A Dark Skin Woman’s Revenge and A dark skin girl’s triumph: The Rashida Strober Story. The third play is entitled The Crucifixion of the Dark Skin Activist.
A gifted actress, the queen of dark skin has also created the first Dark Skin Activist Tour featuring her one-woman play, A Dark Skin Woman’s Revenge. Not only did she write and produce the play, she also brilliantly plays five women all by herself wrtten in 2006. With little resources, she began searching for other dark-skinned women to play the characters but they either did not want to portray the characters or there was no money to pay them and so Rashida hunkered down to play the roles her damned self! Our Sista has since won an award for her portrayal of one of the characters, winning actress of the year at the Playwright’s Red-Carpet Awards. This Queen has production credits for her plays all over the US including at the Atlanta Black Theater Festival, the DC Black Theater Festival and at the University of South Florida.
A victim of what Rashida calls dark skin mental abuse, she decided to release her story to the public for FREE. As well, in 2006 she wrote the play turned audio book, A Dark Skin Girl’s Triumph: The Rashida Strober Story. This story details her struggles of overcoming poverty, homelessness and dark skin abuse to obtaining a Master’s degree from the University of South Florida. Sharing this personal story would not only be therapeutic for her but would also help many others. A true pioneer, Rashida’s dark-skinned activism is the very first of its kind. The world’s first dark skinned activist has created a new paradigm to eradicate dark skinned discrimination once and for all. Since 98’ the dark-skinned activist has been relentlessly advocating for what she calls “dark skinned beauty equality” and “dark skin equality.” She’s appeared on TV, the cover of the Floridian, on countless internet talk platforms and as the featured story for many newspapers. Her fans will tell you that they have never seen anyone advocate with such passion and sincerity as Rashida does for dark skinned people.

Rashida also speaks to the youth and in her community about darkism. As a long time speaker at the Great American Teach-In, the queen of dark skin speaks to children from kindergarten to 12th grade. She also lectures at churches, libraries and community organizations. The queen of dark skin has also been counseling people on dark skin issues for years free of charge. Ya gotta SUPPORT the Sista! because, from France to Africa to New York, she receives messages from people asking for help. For her, the most rewarding part is helping people who confide in her about their dark-skinned struggles. They count on her to be there, listen and not pass judgment. They know that she truly understands because she’s been there. A fan recently contacted her telling her that he works in Corporate America and takes her book, Darkism, with him to work daily as a source of inspiration. You must give it up to OUR SISTA!
The queen of dark skin will be appearing for the first time in Harlem, New York with her off Broadway production of the play A dark skin woman’s revenge.
