People of Color Roundtable Discussion- What does it mean to be a ''Person of Color''?

As a young black girl, with a natural deeply melanated skin, being a person of color means that I have coarse and tightly coiled natural hair, and even though I talked about my hair, for me my hair isn't just hair. My hair is my crown and it tells a story of a young black girl who got bullied because she had to wear her hair in a certain style for health related reasons.

Being a person of color means that I struggle with insecurities which worsen my depression, being a person of color means that I have to work twice as hard as a lighter skin person, to get what I want or to be seen and accepted.. being a person of color means that I feel special, and unique. Being a person of color means that I'm celebrated, and is sometimes dubbed as a strong black woman. Being a person of color means that I have a purpose and that I am who I am.

Being a person of color means that I'm more than just my skin and my hair, I'm compassionate, I'm kind I'm understanding, but sometimes I get angry and depressed and moody. But regardless, I'm proud of who I am, flaws and all. Being a person of color means that I'm a black woman.
