"Sometimes people look at me differently because I am bi-racial and growing up, I was picked on because of it. As a kid, it was hard to understand. But as I grow and understand that not everyone is going to embrace that part of me, I have learned to embrace being black because it is WHO I am. Regardless of how people treat me, I have learned to put others first. Being black has taught me resilience, strength, and courage to face whatever comes because life is not always fair and not everyone is going to treat you fair. My motto is to rise above it and continue to learn to love like Jesus. Black culture is part of our bigger culture and should be embraced and not feared."- Kyler Toney
