Judith Heard is one of the top model exports in Uganda. She has been crowned Miss Africa in Elite Awards held in Egypt last month.
The model has an exceptional skin tone that many ladies find not worth having. They resort to bleaching but Judith Heard has managed to maintain it.
Judith Heard said over the years, she received requests to bleach and promote bleaching creams but she turned them down. She is proud of her skin color.
“Growing up they used to mock us for being black. I used to feel ugly. As an adult, several make-up artists have advised me to bleach a little bit that I would look more beautiful but I reject all such suggestions because black is beautiful.
Every human was created specially and we are all gorgeous in our natural colors," she said during an interview with Urban TV.
In Uganda, the bleaching cream business is currently booming because of the urge to have a light skin tone among young ladies.
