I have a huge issue with blackface.

Overall, my life has been one of survival and the decisions that I have made along the way, including my identification, have been to survive.

I stand by my work on behalf of the citizens of Spokane to further justice and promote civilian oversight of law enforcement.

It's not something that I can put on and take off anymore, like I said, I've had my years of confusion and wondering who I really (was) and why and how do I live my life and make sense of it all, but I'm not confused about that any longer. I think the world might be -- but I'm not.
