Day 7 of 365

Day 7: a show or a movie that has changed you, and how

I am going to insert the option of book here.

A book that changed me would be "The Color of Water".

This book is a black man's tribute to his white mother.

Growing up in the south definitely made skin tone a big issue.

All of my siblings are much darker than me and I dealt with being picked on a lot because of it.

This book showed me a similar struggle but in such a different way.

This black man was raised by his Jewish white mother and knew very little about his heritage on either side due to his mother's family shunning her for loving a black man.

It put my own struggle in a whole other perspective and allowed me to recognize that not only do other people have to deal with this but they have to deal with it in much deeper ways than me.
