This can be especially taxing on people who have been oppressed either through race, sexual trauma, generational trauma and many other unfortunate scenarios. Diamond & Cassy both taught me a lot. As a white woman who grew up in a rural, Florida town, I never heard perspectives from bi-racial women. I appreciate and applaud the courage it takes for anyone to speak their truth.
