Self-consciously that relates into: I\u00b4m not worthy. This is 5-year-old me. I reflected on this little girl\u2019s feelings and fantasies when I decided to write my children\u2019s book, #Sulwe.

As much as I was experiencing colorism in Kenya, I wasn\u00b4t aware that I belonged to a race called black.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BuSdj-Zh9fi\/<\/p>\n<p>However, that was locally. She met her match when she moved to the US.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Suddenly the term black was being ascribed to me and it meant certain things that I was not accustomed to.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Question is, with Black panther\u00b4s global popularity, did it change the casting experience for black actors?<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>I think time will tell whether this has been that pivotal shift.
