In a new six-month series called "White Lies," CNN "As Equals" is investigating the world of skin whitening. The series aims to raise awareness of colorism, the idea that lighter skin is best, even among people of the same ethnic or racial group.

CNN's Jaya Sharma spoke with several people of color about their lived experiences of colorism and skin whitening.

Migrants pass through a broken fence as they leave Spain's North African enclave of Ceuta towards the Moroccan town of Fnideq following an attempted crossing at the Bab Sebta border crossing, on August 1, 2026. More than 48,000 migrants have returned to Morocco from Spain's Ceuta after tens of thousands crossed the frontier into its north African enclave in recent days, Spain's interior ministry said on July 31. Hundreds of people converged on Morocco's northern town of Fnideq on July 30 evening, following rumours that the border with Spain's Ceuta had opened, according to an AFP journalist.
