Out of all the blogs I have ever written for or started this is the one I want to continue. I'm going to try this time too. But just help me get into the habit of it first.
I located in August to the city of New Orleans. In part because of my desire to help in its recovery, in part because I had to escape the bastion of white ultra-liberalism at my previous college (Warren Wilson), and in part because the Black culture of this city gives me such pride and hope in us as a people that I had to get closer to it.
And so I am here...
A new journey?
Perhaps.
Or a new location with the same baggage?
Several white girls have grabbed my hair in astonishment this week. One person called my views "uncomfortable". Perhaps what I once thought was an extreme is actually a norm? We shall see how bad it actually gets.
