I had to Face it. admit it. change it.
My husband, children and I live in the high desert of Albuquerque, New Mexico. It's a land of stark and contrasting beauty, big sky, dry earth and double rainbows. We have sun and snow; high heat and bitter cold. And it's people are just as rich and diverse as the environment in which we live. I fit here. My family fits here. We are just another reflection of that diversity.
The topics I write about may be new to you, or "old hat". They are about the process of change and discovery, particularly as I encountered prejudice within myself and what it took to face it, admit it, and change it. Some stories may be funny. Some are embarrassing. Some, I'm not proud of. But they are part of the process so if anything, they will be honest.
This website is devoted to seeing the beauty in diversity; in particular, within African-Americans, and "Anglos", as I am called here in New Mexico. I was "White" when I lived in New York. In New Mexico, I am considered "Anglo". Regardless of the label, my family is biracial - Black and White. Although "diversity" can encompass a broad spectrum of people, there are other websites that can address that continuum. For the sake of this content, and in light of the racial struggles we have seen in our country in recent days, this website is dedicated to fostering positive relationships between people of the Black and White races in an effort to forward understanding, appreciation, healing, friendship, and love.
