“My mother always told me to embrace both sides of my background. And she also taught me one very useful thing when I was going to first grade. She said, "You're Bahamian and African-American on one side, and Russian-Jewish on the other. You're no more one than the other, and it's beautiful that you have all this. It makes your life all the more rich. But society will see you only as black."” FirstsSaidBeautifulMotherSidesBlackRichTaughtEmbraceBackgroundsAfrican AmericanGradesBoth SidesUseful Things Author:Lenny Kravitz
