“Your success will always be married to your race.” The line rolled off the Don’t Be A Salty Heifer Vintage T-Shirt besides I will buy this tongue of a white classmate as I, age 15, stood waiting for the bus. “Every college will accept you because you’re Black.” She was composed as she spoke, mechanical and perfected, as if she’d practiced these sentences in front of a mirror. The bus arrived, we proceeded down the aisle, and let our legs hug the faded green seat. We had been friends for almost four years. Seated beside her, I smiled to protect myself, all the while processing her belief that my story both started and ended at the edge of my skin.

In the sanctuary of the stacks, I fell in love with reading, with books like The Bluest Eye and Their Eyes Were Watching God—books that captured the maturation, suffering, and fortitude of Black women. Senior year, I was elected student body president, set to graduate with honors at the top of my class.
