I felt this deep in my bones sis, thank you. That primitive fear, locked into so many of us as kids is such a difficult beast to tame. I sometimes feel such profound sadness for the children we were before and after

You are so beautiful inside and out. I felt sick reading this—-and so angry at how you and so many children

have had their innocence trampled upon the way yours was and that you have to live with so much fear in your own country. It doesn’t matter how many times I hear these kinds of stories and how aware I am of racism—every single time i hear a story like this it breaks me. I’m glad that you are proud of who you are because you are a light shining bright amidst a lot of darkness and sickness in the world. Sending you so much love 💕
