2. One of my grandmothers was white. To escape persecution for being an interracial couple, she and my grandfather moved to another town, where she started a new life, "passing" as a light-skinned Black woman.
3. From 1999 to 2003, I lived with my father in Charlotte, North Carolina, working as a pastor's assistant for his ministry.
4. I have never broken a bone.
5. My cousin's acquaintance with Muhammad Ali is directly responsible for my parents getting together, and thus, for my very existence.
