Growing up I used to hate not being one race. I thought it was something that kept me down. I wasn’t accepted by the white or black girls who I went to high school. But as I grew older I accepted and embraced that I was ahead of my time. Seeing this wedding today is like beautiful icing on a cake.

Congrats Harry and Meghan.
