She was called too dark and ugly but is now one of the most influential black women in Europe | LNN

Imagine growing up in a house where everyone thought you were the odd one out simply because of, "how dark and ugly" you were? Having your father doubt you were his child and sisters who constantly thought you would never make it.

Having your self-esteem so crashed you swore you would never be with a black man because you did not want to subject your kids to what you had been through. Bleaching your skin to fit in only for a white man to tell you how beautiful your natural self is restoring your whole self-esteem....


This is the story of Dr.Pauline Long. An AUGP Nobel Peace Prize recipient and the most celebrated African woman in Europe with 8 Lifetime Achievement Awards and 289 awards given to her for endless service to society. She is a strong advocate for human love committed to bringing communities together.

On this episode of Inspire Global, she walks Lynn Ngugi through her painful childhood journey full of rejection and hatred, her life in the UK and why no one will ever break her spirit again
