Life Has Its Ups and Downs: No Matter Who You Are

As you read this manuscript, remember that I am a Black woman who went through many challenges in life. I have faced prejudice. I encountered it from both the Black race and the White race. I reemphasize though that I experienced prejudice more from the Black race - my Black race - than from the White race. Remembering that I was a kid who hated school one of my former teachers found it hard to believe that I was in college, even though I was thirty years old. However, I tell all that I converse with that you can't judge a book by its cover. You have to look inside.
