It might sound strange, but I did not know I was black until I moved to the USA. Some of you might think I am crazy and it doesn’t make sense to say such a thing. But if you want me to rephrase it, let’s just say I’ve always been aware of my skin color but back home it didn’t really matter to me. I simply saw myself as a human being. Back home, yes, we were surrounded by people from different backgrounds and complexions, but as a kid, race and ethnicity weren’t major issues or concerns. While like any other place on earth we had our own issues, coming from a place where the majority looks like you, you don’t really see yourself as different.
Change comes in many different ways and as it’s new, it may seem crazy. Crazy because we aren’t sure how the situation will affect us or this world around us. But the biggest questions to ask are: Is the fear of the unknown really greater than the wrath that might occur from being stuck in the same place? Is the fear of the unknown really greater than portraying a fake personality and longing for people’s acceptance or love? Is the fear of the unknown really greater than letting those who don’t love and appreciate us dictate our journey of self-discovery and self-love?
