Sheltered friends. Life is not effortless.

Mary Beth Bergeron
Rapid River, MI

I am white. I have lived in Tidewater, VA and a highly diverse college town in southwest Ohio. My husband and I have just moved home to the UP of Michigan after 32 years away, homogenous and familiar. I am reminded of how effortless it is–regardless of your race or ethnicity–to move among those who look like you and sound like you. Too easy.
