But then this sort of tug of war, right, of wanting the kid to look and seem Black at the same time.

And I'm like, man, that is such a true thing for us, right, where you...

You have this piece of you that you like.

I want my kids to be able to seamlessly integrate into this world that they have to be in.

But then I also want them to have their hair knotty and I want them to walk in spaces and just own who they are.

And I want them to just be like knowing who they are.

But then I want them to be able to kind of go somewhere else and it and it not be.

too distracting

what I mean kind of like back to what our other storyteller said yeah

that's a that's a tricky thing right because you want that really you want both and the two sometimes don't play well together and I just thought that was an interesting thing because I'm sure that there are people who think about how difficult it is to be a black man and say why in the devil

I want him, and this is probably me putting words in her mouth, you know, but a piece of me was like, maybe she wants him to look so black that he has no alternative but to embrace blackness, right?

Versus potentially, because she said, would he pass?

You know, he could be somebody who phenotypically does not look black at all and has the option to embrace that piece.

that

But you know what's crazy?

I can say this as a Black mother.

But actually, what I'm going to say is something that you don't have to be a Black mother to relate to.
