I was really dramatic. I never thought I would live so long, you know. At the time, I just thought there is no way I’m going to pass age fifteen, and then there is no way I’m going to live longer than eighteen, because, at the time, it felt unbearable to just live in this skin.

Freddie speaks of the silent will to no longer exist. This can be the emotional toil of racism. Please watch the rest of her interview she speaks with such brightness about very piercing issues. Her beauty and radiance has been so inspiring and I’m glad she is on Earth!
