So I think with all of that becoming more normalized, a lot of the trauma that I experienced because I was quote unquote different won't even exist in 10, 20 years for people, which is amazing. I think that I was so naive watching other people whisper about my mom and I having different last names. I didn't even really register until I was older. And then I was like, that's why I felt so othered.

I already had this understanding of the otherness that my dad definitely experienced and I experienced to a degree that my dad was black in this very small, very, very white community. I think that created an interesting experience for me. And I think that it all forms your personality. When I was six, my dad passed away. I was told that he had a heart attack and that's how he died.

So there was this level of trauma. Growing up, I don't really know if I realized certain things I was doing was related to trauma. I just thought it was normal. Now, depression and anxiety is talked about a lot more. Kids in high school are more familiar with those terms. We didn't really know what any of that was when I was growing up. I act like that was 100 years ago.

It was like literally 10 years ago. It is really weird that we weren't talking about those things at the time. But I didn't realize me withdrawing or me feeling this level of social anxiety as a 12, 13 year old was related to all these things that were happening to me. When I was 16, I found out that my dad was murdered instead of dying of a heart attack.

That was this very strange moment for me because I realized that I had this very weird intuition that I think a lot of people have, but not all people are paying attention to. I was 16, so it is a bit scary to realize your gut can sort of tell you things. My mom and I were visiting my dad's side of the family in Ohio. He lived about two and a half hours away from where I grew up.

We went up there on my dad's birthday, May 4th of 2012. On our way back, my mom had offered to drive me by my grandmother's house on my dad's side. She was living with my dad's sister and her son. When we were leaving, my cousin walked outside to say goodbye to us. I turned around to wave goodbye and I felt something punch me in the stomach.

So much so that I hurled forward like the wind was knocked out of me, but nothing was there. I get in the car and I can't speak because I could barely breathe. My mom is asking me, what's wrong? What happened? Did you get stung by a bee? What's going on? Thinking that my dad had a heart attack and that's how he died.

I looked at my mom and I asked her if that cousin who I saw was with my dad when he had a heart attack and watched him die and didn't help him. My mom was just silent. My mom's a chatterbox, did not know what to say. She didn't know what to do.
