Immigrant Quote by Karamo Brown

“In our country, being from immigrant parents, growing up black in the South, coming out at 16 years old, being a teen parent... you would assume that my life would amount to nothing. And here I stand today. So, if I can do it... you can, too!” quote by Karamo Brown — Download Open image
