From ages 13 to 18, I lived in North Carolina. Coming from New York, I was very much an outsider when I first arrived. It was a culture clash, to say the least, and I often got into trouble for things I never would have back home — like advocating for myself or expressing independent thoughts. I knew I didn’t belong because I was taught to feel that way. Underneath all the kind dispositions and Southern hospitality was a prejudice I had never encountered before or after, and when I moved back North after high school, I never looked back.
