I Think I'm A Character

Like The Guy I Was Dating. White, Liberal, Educated. I Went To Meet His Family And I Think That They Probably Didn't Know They Had A Problem With It Until He Walked In With Me. And They Definitely Had Issues. Mom Had Issues With It. Could Not, Didn't Want To See Her Son. And I Don't Think She Had Anything Against Me. But It Was About Her Son Bringing Me Home. And I Felt That For The First Time. I Was Like, 'wow, That's Deep.' It's Really Simple: I Don't Fit Their Picture.

I Think I'm A Character Actress In A Leading Lady's Body, But The Industry Doesn't Really See Me That Way.

I Think I'm Definitely More Open. You Know The Thing Is I Wouldn't Have Said I Was Closed Before, But Like, It's The Kind Of Thing That You Don't Even Think Of Other Options. I've Been Dating Black Men For Really, For Like, I Don't Know, 10 Years. You Know, I Haven't Really Dated Outside Of That. Now I Think I'm Probably Am More Open To The Idea.

I Feel Like People Grow The Most When They Step Outside Of The Box That They Are Used To. For Me, It's Constantly Challenging Myself To Step Outside Of My Comfort Zone. As Soon As You Do That, Then You Grow, But Then You Get Comfortable Again.

There's A Lot Of Kenya That's Not Like Me. I Like Birkenstocks, Granola, My Dog Pops.
