Dear Helga,
You are beautiful. The world can be a really malicious and
mean place to be. Copenhagen, Chicago, New York... The world just doesn’t seem to
have enough corners that offer protection from the racism that plagues every
continent. Right now it might seem like the world is out to get you and only you You are not properly accepted by the black community and definitely not
accepted by the white community. Harlem looked like it would offer a safe place
for free expression and originality, but it seems that even there, you didn’t
receive quite the respect you deserved. It may be hard to be the first, but know that you are just that–- one of the first of many. By the year 2050, the majority of Americas are expected to look much more like
you than your mother, or your step father, or your aunt or even your husband. So,
let me reiterate. Know that you are gorgeous and that you are not alone.
