It was disappointing! Actually, with careful observation, Gambian girls in Atlanta and elsewhere are beautiful. But you need good vision to spot out their beauty from their artificiality. Anywhere I looked, I saw "Yellow Sisis". It was an ugly sight. >> Baba I am not challenging you to the above statement. I am a woman myself and I do not practice this "cosmetology"/ "Hessal"( as locally called) but at the same time we have to understand that it's ones choice....and we have to respect that.....
