I hate school.

I don't want to go to school.

She was already questioning her skin color.

Why am I this?

And why are you my mother?

And in that moment, which was a difficult moment for our family, I had to figure out a way to connect with this young woman

and in her five-year-old language, tell that no one has the right to define your reality.

Now, if she were Uncle Mark in his 40s at the time, he would have the courage to say, wait a minute, who do you think you are talking to me that way?

I love myself.

You don't have that power.

She's five.

Do you see why I'm saying how important it is?

We have to build the skill early.

And so this young girl with her uncle and her parents and other people were really trying to help her reframe

Build more positive self-talk.

Recognize that our family has different skin colors and tones and it's okay and that we love her and that she's going to be okay and et cetera.

But imagine no intervention there.

Imagine no one noticing.

We were intentional about providing her that support so she could reframe and have more positive self-talk.

So our negative self-talk starts early and it doesn't come from within.
