1. The Uncharted Territory
As I stepped off the plane in Shenzhen, China, I couldn't help but feel a mix of emotions - excitement for the new adventure and anxiety about the unknown. Being Black in China was going to be an experience like no other, or so I thought. Before my move, warnings about awkward stares and photo taking had me bracing myself for impact. But nothing could have prepared me for what was to come.
2. The Initial Fascination
At first, it was almost...fun? Chinese people would stop in their tracks, mesmerized by my dark skin and curly hair. They'd ask questions, take pictures
