This was a beautiful powerful story. Thank you for sharing your insight and intimate perspective of your story. I’m not black, but growing up as Chinese person in an almost all white neighborhood I also felt the “power of white beauty.” I wrote an article about it here for the #StopAsianHate movement.It talks about how I was ashamed of my Chinese facial features and how I overcame how I felt about my appearance and discovered my own beauty. https://medium.com/@marychang_10894/the-power-of-white-deeda8266382?sk=e2f196b7212740f266b3a97fbb64b5fd
