Sun is beneficial for everybody's health.

In Africa, you will have a range of skin types.
My grandmother.
Okay.
Yeah.
Danny, my grandmother who I'm on my father's side of the family was a little bit darker than you.
but she could tan.

So her natural skin color was much lighter, but when she would get more sunlight, she would darken up a lot.
The skin range, but that's the thing, the skin's ability to tan is also one of the reflections of their ability to handle sunlight.
