Britt Mikelle,
Centreville, VA.
People always ask me where I come from. I tell them, “from love.” Only love or lust would have created me. I am a mutt in every since of the word. Growing up in a multiracial home, I did not know racism untill I was old enough to date. My family is large. I am one of the dark ones. I use to go out and tan, loving the feel of sun on my skin. It is hard to see color when you have embraced it all your life. Something different/unknown can make people affraid. I understand that. Fear can cause anger. Anger, racism. The more you know, the more we are alike.
