Jacqueline Woodson

“Once I asked Miah if he ever forgot he was black. No. I never forget, he said. But sometimes it doesn’t matter-like I just am. Then he asked me if I ever forgot I was white. Sometimes, I said. And when you’re forgetting, what color are you? No color. Then Miah looked away from me and said, We’re different that way.”
