Colorism research continues to gain momentum across several disciplines. Existing research, however, has provided minimal analysis of the impact of colorism and skin color privilege on Black women with light skin. The current study addresses this void in the colorism literature. Employing classic grounded theory methodology, the present investigation examines the experience of colorism with light-skinned Black females, aiming specifically to understand the psychosocial factors that underpin and contribute to colorist socializations and colorist ideology. Eleven, self-identified light-skinned Black women, ages 21-84 were interviewed. Constant comparison data analysis and coding revealed that Black women are, in fact, impacted by hierarchical perceptions of skin color, which resulted in what was coined, the complexion conflict as the central phenomenon. Three core categories related to the central phenomenon emerged: (a) sources of colorist ideology (Phase I: transcultural conditioning) (b) influence (Phase II: impact variables), and (c) resolution (Phase III: reconciliation strategies). From these three core categories emerged nine subcategories and themes that offer additional information and insight into the central phenomenon. Further, findings from this study indicate light-skinned Black women are significantly influenced by skin color stigma, and thus may stand to gain from socialization that counters colorist trajectory, confronts privilege, reduce the effects of skin tone stigma, and promotes a greater sense of cultural inclusiveness and personal healing.
