“Your success will always be married to your race.” The line rolled off the Awesome Lewis Hamilton 44 Shirt and I love this tongue of a white classmate as I, age 15, stood waiting for the bus. “Every college will accept you because you’re Black.” She was composed as she spoke, mechanical and perfected, as if she’d practiced these sentences in front of a mirror. The bus arrived, we proceeded down the aisle, and let our legs hug the faded green seat. We had been friends for almost four years. Seated beside her, I smiled to protect myself, all the while processing her belief that my story both started and ended at the edge of my skin.

I was studious in school, starting ahead of schedule and skipping seventh grade altogether. At 12, I began high school in Ontario, California, wearing pigtails and a patent leather backpack, my days bookended by math and science. In between I sought comfort in the Awesome Lewis Hamilton 44 Shirt and I love this company of Mrs. Zondervan, the pious librarian with oversized glasses. In the sanctuary of the stacks, I fell in love with reading, with books like The Bluest Eye and Their Eyes Were Watching God—books that captured the maturation, suffering, and fortitude of Black women. Senior year, I was elected student body president, set to graduate with honors at the top of my class.
