I'm like the black sheep of my family.

I was literally the black sheep of the family, and there were definitely moments of discomfort while my grandmother was working through her racism.

I was always the black sheep of the family and always told that I was dumb, and I had a low IQ and did badly in school.

I was just a very dark kid. My family was complicated.

I dug the idea that I was being perceived as the black sheep of my family, but for me, it was like, I was a rebel, and that to me was most important.

Being a black sheep is a way I would describe myself.

My mother insisted that I have a normal upbringing.

I think I was raised by a really good mother.

I became the kind of parent my mother was to me.

My mother is extraordinary. She understood me and never tried to hold me back.
