“My complexion is fairly brown,” Ronnie recently said on BBC Radio 4. I have thick hair. It has waves and twists. is engaged in a variety of activities, yet I consider that to be a manifestation of my thoughts.
Ronnie said in the same interview that she had felt like a white woman since she was a very small child.
They aspired to be like their white female classmates as early as four years old, when they were in preschool.
“I recall […] being outside in the playground and wanting to animate in the same way that I saw my classmates – in the way that their hair would respond to the wind and flap around,” the scholar stated. It was the pink cheeks that I desired.
Ronnie elaborated on the experience at a TedX session, saying: “I appear to be black and male, but on the inside, I have a white girl inside of me.”
