Light Girls is the sequel to Bill Duke’s 2011 documentary, Dark Girls. It premieres January 19th and will address the privileges and disadvantages of having lighter skin.

Raven says that throughout the four seasons in which she starred on That’s So Raven, she used to tan to get darker skin.

“When I had my own show, I used to tan three or four times a week in a tanning bed to get darker,” she said. “I did.”
