Hmm, at first I was going to say that I would like to experience being something different, but then I wondered what I would feel if I did enjoy the "preceived" relief or benefits of being another race? I would have to come back to being Black and I would never want to have to dread coming back to Black (lol). So, I think I will continue to enjoy being a beautiful Black woman, someone who others can look at and be reminded of a people who have suffered and overcome. I would prefer to spend my time finding ways to combat the aspects of our society and culture that make me feel like I would ever want to be something else.
It's funny, sometimes insecurities creep up on me and make me question why God made me the way He did. Then I go to my sorority's convention where there are thousands and thousands of beautiful women who look like me, or I go to church and there are such strong and wise Black women and I feel a sense of pride and obligation that I don't think I could ever feel as a woman of any other color.
