It is an undeniable truth that Black children are born with a target on their backs. That target gets even bigger when those children learn more about themselves and realize that they are trans.

After listening to Meghan and Harry’s interview with Oprah, I couldn’t stop thinking about Meghan identifying herself as a Black woman. I highlight this because, in my ignorance of what I know about The Crown, I would never have imagined at first sight that Megan could be considered a Black woman. However, having watched the whole interview, so many questions and the thirst for further investigation came to my mind.

As a writer, I find myself constantly looking for new ideas but also trying to delve deeper into the issues that matter the most to me. I never tire of swirling around the events of the day in my mind - trying to gain a deeper understanding of how I interact with the world. It takes a conscious effort to live with purpose - to be able to act on the ideals that you have formed about yourself and the world around you.
