Same, same - but different tho. 

In my #AdenturesOfAYoungBlackMan I dedicate an entire month trying to understand my colour, its history and how our experiences as Black People - may differ to varying degrees but we ALL Simultaneously can remember the first time in our lives when the colour of our skin precluded us from the upward social mobility even in the most mundane of activities. 

Naima was born in the beautiful, Butterfly shaped island of Guadaloupe, where she then moved to France and now lives in England. She recalls experiences and memories that made leaving home bittersweet, but mostly those that empowered her albeit what the societal norms would have been with regards to her race.
