Many darker-skinned women say their ability to form relationships can become complicated by their complexion.

A new BBC World Service radio documentary, Michelle Obama: 'Black Like Me', explores what is described as “shade-ism” or "colourism" - discrimination on the basis of the darkness of skin colour.

The hour-long documentary premiers on 18 February at 22:00GMT on World Service Radio.

Video produced by: Valley Fontaine, Lynsea Garrison and David Botti
