I was a Black girl raised in the segregated South in the 60s and 70s. It was a confusing period made more perplexing by my parents’ inability to answer my many questions about race. As a young adult, I realized that questioning the racial status quo in Alabama then was a futile endeavor for most Black folks. But our collective racial condition sparked a curiosity within me that led to a life-long quest to better understand our country’s history and struggle with racial issues. I have always been passionate about equal opportunity and mutual respect, and my fervor evolved into a business.
