My first dealing of racism, I can never forget, this is the story I will tell my children’s children, is when I was 11 or 12 years old at Whitehouse Elementary in Jacksonville, Florida. I don’t even think I’ve told my immediate family, but here it goes. I was in 5th grade, we had just moved to the area from Miramar, Florida, which was like night and day to me as a child. I UNDERSTAND WE ARE ANGRY. Teresa’s comment almost 15 years ago STICKS WITH ME TO THIS DAY. I AM ANGRY, I AM SAD, I AM HURT.

This month has been like the friend that you go to when you need the honest, real, raw truth. The good and bad. Let me break it down for you.
