Loved this piece! I related to so much of it! The feeling of knowing how to “be white” because that’s what you’re surrounded with and raised with, yet all those white people will never know how it feels to be Black.
And the fact that the author’s parents never discussed race - my upbringing was the same.
It is heartening reading these stories and knowing that my experiences and feelings aren’t isolated. These are important pieces!
Great piece :)
Thank you!

You are never alone! No matter how unique our experiences, there are always commonalities with authors
