Not sure this one is gonna make it to Morocco (and maybe not Netflix) so can someone purchase the DVD for me when it comes out. I will pay you handsomely for it :) Also, in the interest of sharing my feelings in order to work through them, it is less than a week before we head out on our North African adventure, and I find myself trying to consume as many articles and videos about race as I can get my hands on. They make me laugh and cry and nod my head and leave me a bit of an emotional mess, and I am just letting myself realize that I am afraid. So much of my life and my career has been about race; for better or for worse. Am I leaving it behind? Am I taking a break from it? Will it be a relief or a burden to have no one look at me and see black, or multiracial, or African American - just American? Will they see hot dogs instead of fried chicken? Will they see the privileged rich boy instead of that kid on financial aid? Will they see c-rap music instead of real hip hop? Maybe that is the beautiful thing about identity: it reminds us that no matter how hard we try to hold on to something, there is always the possibility for change - and change and is what makes everything worth it. Its still scary though. Wish me luck.
