I laugh, I cry, I bleed….

As a kid I never saw the difference in skin colors. I always felt everyone was equal. But at the age of 8 I learned I was an ethnic minority (allochtoon) in The Netherlands where I was born & raised. With my mother being Dutch and my father being from Curaçao (Dutch Antilles) I never understood why I was stamped and treated as ‘different’. After that I always identified myself as black, I was clearly not white.

Now, many years later, I’ve traveled the world and no matter where I am, I’m always the one that stands out. People judge me because of my color, negative and sometimes also positive. Not white enough, and for some not black enough. Being one of the few black people at my highschool and university I sadly encountered racism and yess it left its marks.. Being one of the few female MCs in Holland, made me learn about discrimination as well. At the same time it made me thicken my skin, it made me work even harder to reach my goals.

I learned to deal with it, being different. Thats why I carry my skin color, my roots, and my background with pride. With respect and everlasting love for both of my parents & family who raised me ❤️❤️

Its a f*ckin outrage that there still is racism this day and age. It’s hurtful, scary, frustrating and also sad. Thats why it touches me to see people (no matter what race, what color) unite worldwide to ban racism. Its important to speak up. That gives me hope. Hope for the future. Hope for my children. I teach them to be proud of their color, and that (dispite of our looks) we are all equal and we need to treat eachother with respect. We are all human. We all laugh, we cry, we bleed. Its about time for a f*ckin change.. #saynotoracism #blm ✊🏿✊🏾✊🏽✊🏼✊🏻
