Tiffany was my bridge to understanding that Black is beautiful whether it looked nerdy like me or cool like her. I could choose what felt right for me without needing to be like everyone, or needing to everyone to be like me. Black is not monolithic. Black is expansive, and I didn't need the approval of whiteness in order to feel good in my skin; there was no whiteness available to offer an opinion. It was freedom.
