Important Note on that Piece

After reading the edited version, I want to make sure something wasn’t misrepresented–not everyone I went to school with growing up was black. More white folks than black, actually, but there were lots of black folks. When I mentioned the folks that were happy for me, I wanted to make sure to specify those were black people.

For that, I apologize.
