It is crazy how my upbringing was SO black and SO white-adjacent at the same time. My daddy worked at a church and my mama went to schools across the state doing a one woman show about Sojourner Truth and African diaspora folktales with percussion backup.
And I want to say "at least it gave me so many opportunities!" But tbh, I could have gone to a really good public school magnet program in the arts OR for academics and gotten the same opportunities.

(And I would have gotten into both/either bc I was a really smart kid, lol. *tosses hair*.) I don't regret it bc I can't imagine being a different person... but if I have kids I will think VERY seriously about the advantages vs disadvantages of PWI education esp at a young age.
