I Saw Myself in New Spaces: You Can Too
In Ghana I felt freer than ever before. I felt like there was a relief from the same worries about how I am perceived that I have when I simply walk into a retail store in the U.S. I was able to exist at times without feeling like I would be labeled with racially charged stereotypes. This gave me the power and the freedom to see myself for who I am, and to think less about how I am perceived- something I have always struggled with.
