I don't think she bleached her skin but the photo was obviously photoshopped and shot in a way to alter her appearance. But the more I look at the photo I think the lighting was most likely intentional and the obvious photoshopping of her face especially the shape of her chin and the slight alteration of her nose was definitely intentional. I think it's obvious that someone wanted to make India Arie look different and I guess she liked what she saw and went along with it. Maybe she is not as in love with her natural appearance as she would have others to believe.
