Teresa, I have enjoyed your interview about what you experienced as a very young girl growing up as a light-skin black American in the United States; and now as a grown woman and still having to deal with other people’s ignorance and bias on ethnic issues. Now with your story – they can hear your view on how it made you feel and can start an open dialogue for positive change.
