I love this! I've also been thin my whole life and as a black woman, it felt almost wrong.

This reminded me of the boundary market in Ajegunle, Nigeria, where I'd always accompany my mother to the market square and be at the mercy of the shop owners. Nice story!

I love this. I was always thin growing up and it made me feel very insecure. In High school I try so many things to gain weight. It’s very sad that as a black girl/woman society makes it that we should all be thick and a certain size. It took me years to love my size and not give a damn.
