I know this sounds horrid, but I get to speak my truth. This is not my reality now nor has it been for a very long time, but it was my reality. The reservations with the black woman came from my home and branched out to my own hate of self. The circumstances that I experienced gave me the evidence I needed to validate my emotions. I had to heal many times to realize the truth behind my false beliefs. I changed the narrative with new opportunities and I am blessed to be able to share my life with you.
