“The entire sixth grade. I was young, but much of my material comes from that time. It was a weird transitional period because my family moved back to Los Angeles from Potomac, Maryland, where I hadn't been around many Black people. It was jarring to be berated for 'acting White’ when I was placed in a predominantly Black middle school in Southern California. I was also chubby, into boys who weren't into me, and tried too hard to fit into this ‘blackness’ I was supposed to be.”
