Shedding my whiteness is a work in progress | Life and style | The Guardian

'A complex relationship with my Irish side and my Irish family is made even more difficult because, mainly, I’ve loved spending time there. '

'Outside my immediate family, my blackness has been obvious and non-negotiable, but among some of my Irish family, it is up for debate or ignored entirely. '

'To some family, I’ll always be the little white girl who simply sat out in the sun for too long. '

'Shedding my own psychology of whiteness is a work in progress, but when I am back in Ireland it’s easy to revert to default because that’s all we know. '

'Despite what my family say, in West Clare I have always stuck out like a dark stain on a silk cloth, but felt love and acceptance from them anyway. '
