I am not sure how we get free from the trap of colorism, but as with most things in life, I know it begins with being able to talk about it openly. But I think the time has come to be explicit in our strategies, to have the difficult conversations, to acknowledge when they make us uncomfortable, or remind us of our own individual pain. To have your life dictated by something you are not even allowed to name is a special kind of cruelty. The way to begin to combat it is to try to speak about it. - Kaitlyn Greenidge
