I live in New York City. I’m 5-foot-9 and wear Rockport shoes that make me 5-foot-91/2. They’re not lifts – I deny that – but they do set off the airport metal detector. My hair is starting to gray a little. I have a gold tooth in the back.
When you’re biracial, people sort of make you gray – you’re not black, you’re not white, you’re sort of gray; you’re ‘other.’ And I’m fortunate to have parents that were strong enough to say, ‘You’re not ‘other.’ You’re special.’
