This was a really interesting viewpoint of internalised and externalised racism from the viewpoint of an African-American teen from the rough side of L.A. It was inspiring seeing a girl go from blaming everyone else for her problems to realising where her own faults lie and working on them and learning how to find joy in a society that doesn’t always treat her fairly.
