#i was born

I was born with an adult head and a tiny body. Like a 'Peanuts' character. ↗

I was born in Newark, New Jersey, and grew up in Summit, an upscale town in north Jersey. There was this tiny area of Summit where most of the black families lived. My parents and I lived in a duplex house on Williams Street. ↗
