Great job in standing up to racism, even having the strength and courage to do so at such a young age! It takes a person of conviction to be bold enough not only to know your own boundaries but be willing to defend them when others cross them intentionally and with malicious intent. Which is what racists do then deny. To be so rooted at such a young age, particularly during times when it was so much harder to so than now is a profound testament to your ability to create positive change in a world that so desperately needs it. Thank your for your commitment to the struggle for equality, there are so many who lack that kind of integrity!
