Im very connected to my community and I want black people…
“Im very connected to my community and I want black people to know that I havent abandoned them because Ive had a child with a man outside of my race and Im dating someone now outside of my race who is Spanish and French. I have never been more clear about who I am as a black woman. The people I have dated sort of hold up a mirror to me and help me realize more of who I really am.”
