I am an African woman ... but that does not mean that I have ebony skin.
My skin is all shades of black and brown ... dark brown, chocolate brown, sandy brown, black-brown, light brown, tan, mocha, cappuccino, bronze, amber, taupe, sienna, sepia, mahogany, rust, copper, ecru, auburn, camel, russet, wenge, coffee, earth ... and yes, ebony.
