“In my experience, it’s been my hair that’s been more of an issue than  my skin color. People totally change the way they treat me when my hair  is different. If my hair is straight, people don’t look twice. They  think I’m Indian, so I guess I look safe. But if my hair is curly, all  of sudden it’s an issue. I’m risky. ‘What is she? Is she Black? She  can’t be Black. She has some mix of something, but she’s definitely got  some Black.’”Sosena Solomon “Ethiopian”
