While filming my show, I found utopia in countries like Rwanda, South Africa, and Zambia. Everywhere I turned, I was in the majority. I didn’t stand out. Experiencing cultures across Africa let me reconnect with my ancestors.” — Nathan Fluellen

Real Life of an MSW 
I love this! The only continent I’ve not been on is Africa! Once when I was in Spain, this little girl was walking with her parents, I assume, but she kept turning around looking at me. She walked straight into a mailbox. I think I look peculiar in some places that I go! I got that a lot while I was in Spain.

I can relate to your experience. A board I have been mistaken for India Arie, and Lauren Hill. I just think of Nina Simone, and feel blessed that I am young, gifted, and black…lol I do hope you get to visit Africa. I highly recommended Giraffe Manor in Nairobi, Kenya
