Oh, I'm sorry.

There was one other thing that I said.

I'm sorry.

I said...

It was an example of something that could have been, that started out negatively becoming a positive from the standpoint of the love and support that we had received.

And I received a text, a biblical text that I want to just share with you.

And the verse of the day is my wife sends verses, affirmations to various people.

Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.

Romans 12, 21.

A negative turned into a positive, which essentially is what I didn't quote that Bible passage.

I wish I told her that when she sent me this, God, I wish I had said that.

I don't, but I do remember the first time I was othered because of the color of my skin.

And interestingly, I'm writing a memoir right now, plug, plug, plug, that will be out in 2027, and I reference this incident in the book.

I do remember very, very clearly what happened and my utter confusion.

Five.

So I was born in England.

And my mom was a nurse.

I'm Jamaican.

My mom went to England as part of a movement of Caribbean peoples from the Caribbean to England.

And they became known as the Windrush Generation as a result of the boat called the Empire Windrush that transported approximately 300 Jamaican, mostly Jamaican men from the Caribbean to England in June of 1948.
