Labels are a very powerful thing. Countless scholars, psychologists and writers alike have written lengthy papers on labels and their impacts. As a middle class Caucasian I have felt pretty blessed and have never really felt the impact of a “label”, that is until now.

It has been a month and a half since I have last blogged partially due to the fact that a.) Carson is doing AMAZING and b.) partly due to not quite being sure how to approach this post.
