“Acknowledging that my skin was, in fact, Cocoa as it is, would have destroyed their narrative about who I really was. Therefore they had to convince everyone (but mostly themselves) that my skin colour was black, which is obviously not. They wanted to lessen the value of my skin, my people, and my origins.” — Mitta Xinindlu
