  3. 2020

    Became a normalized self-representation tool; widely used in TikTok storytelling formats, relatable meme content, and identity-forward social media posts during a period of heightened racial awareness discourse.

  4. 2026

    A default self-expression emoji for light-skinned women across all platforms; embedded in aesthetic identities like 'clean girl' and 'that girl', used in both sincere and ironic GenZ storytelling with layered meaning.
