I am not my daughter’s nanny.

Shellee Perez,
San Jose, CA.

I unfortunately found that people have certain stereotypes of what it means to be Black inculcated in their minds and apparently the tone and features of my own child do not fit their bias. As a result, people would rather view my relationship with my daughter as servitude for a paycheck rather than a bond forged by a mother’s love.
