In a candid and emotional revelation, popular Kenyan socialite Liebe Kiki has broken her silence on her long and controversial skin bleaching journey—detailing what drove her to alter her complexion and why she has now chosen to embrace her natural skin tone.
Liebe Kiki, who first burst into the limelight with her luxurious lifestyle, bold fashion, and viral social media posts, became a hot topic in the beauty industry for her visibly lighter skin over the years. For a long time, she remained tight-lipped about the change, sparking speculation and criticism. But now, for the first time, Kiki is setting the record straight.
Liebe posted about the reason she bleached being childhood trauma on how her mother lived her life. She said “my mother never allowed me to call her mom because of my skin colour. I had to kill the childhood in me and started to change my skin colour.”
She is now regretting it and regaining her colour back. Liebe Kiki has revealed she’s in the final stages of reversing her skin bleaching, saying childhood trauma contributed to her decision to lighten her skin. In a Instagram post, she wrote:
“I’m almost there, y’all can breathe now. I got the answers I needed just had to go crazy lengths to find them. And yes, I’m probably the only girl bold enough to be public about it.
Parents can traumatize you sometimes. PS: I was serious about looking good in both shades.”
