“My parents used to say that I cannot put a checklist on race, but my parents failed to realize I don’t have to do it because the world did it for me. I made a choice a long time ago that I will not erase either of my races. My skin is a gift. I am one of many. Therefore, I don’t have to decide because I know who I am.” — Charlena E. Jackson
