When I was young and carefree, before I realised what the obstacles were that we face as black people. I was raised in a beautiful home with incredible parents. They allowed me to enjoy what it was to be a child.
A few weeks ago, we spent a long weekend going around West Cork, and I was so happy it amazed me. My husband doesn’t always make me happy around the house, but add a road and some scenery and the combination can be very powerful.
I am relieved to say that I find it hard to answer such a question, because if I could it would suggest that my life has become dreary and empty.
I am a bit of a Pollyanna – I spend most of my day happy.
