"Majority of my life of my life I’ve dealt with racism and never feeling good enough for anyone. My parents divorced early and my mom moved me and my two sisters to a different state. Being raised in a house full of women I never felt “man enough” or confident to do anything. I struggled having confidence to talk to women and then being in a predominantly white neighborhood girls could never “bring me to their house”. I wanted to be white in the worst way, to be accepted, to be “seen”. I struggled with substance abuse and alcohol all before my sophomore year in high school. Tried to off myself and failed. I’m now 32 married with a beautiful baby and still struggle to be “good enough”. Some days I have to convince myself to not drive off the bridge driving to and from work"
