Thanks for sharing your story about invisibility of differences and the impact it has had on you. Also, Jenna, your voice is perfect for storytelling - very engaging!
Thank you, Santo! That is so kind of you and I appreciate the encouragement. I really like reading my essays out loud - it feels like another way I can connect with all of you!
Each story you share brings me a little closer to peace and understanding my own lived experiences: the perspective my son endured...the deep-down emotional stress and hidden desire of wanting to know about his beginnings. Adam was so particular about who cut and styled his hair. We both learned that "Asian hair" has a few nuances...
I'm so glad to know this. Whatever I can do to help others understand themselves or one another better is what I am to do <3 Much of this is processed so slowly over time... or hits us like a ton of bricks! I know you did everything you could to support him <3
