Hi Journal: Racial Profiling
Hi Journal, You would never guess what I did yesterday. It was something that I will never forget! It was a time where I was able to express my secret self of being transgender publically by being on 20:20’s complete documentary with Barbara Walters. The day before Mrs. Walters came to my house I remember I was drawing her a picture. I used my pink crayon to draw her a pretty shirt and I used the black crayon to color her pants.

And now that Mommymy lets the little girl wear the dress to school she is happy. Accept that little girl in the end was me! Mrs. Walters talked more until I told her that I was ready to sing a song in front of everybody. The only song that I could think of came from Cinderella because that was the song we were singing in acting school these past couple of days. I tried my best to sing since I knew my voice was going to be bad because I was just coming off of a cold, but this is what I
