Black Girl in a Crowded Room
My story started with the woman in blue with the biggest smile.
That’s my mom.
She was the Midwestern black girl who decided to dream…to become a model in California.
And she did it in the ‘80's. She is one of the many black girls in crowded rooms that offer no space for a breath of fresh air. It’s stale because the world hates us. But don’t fret….
This won’t be another “woe is the black woman who is sick and tired of being sick and tired. Best believe that.
I’m simply taking you on a journey. To show you the late bloomer superheroes. The nerdy twerk masters who happen to also be witches. The Sexy senseis and the young grasshoppers. And definitely the dope black girls.
