Keah shares her story as a Black woman with Cabral Palsey in today's culture and society. She delves into racism, ableism, representation, and cruelties in society. Her story is very raw and emotional. She is brutally honest, which I feel is super important for a true representation as we all bring down and dismantle stigma in our society. I love how she accepted parts of her past that she was not proud of, she acknowledged her flaws and how she grew from it.
While I am not super into pop culture at this time, I know that is an integral part of general society and helps shape many of the kids and adolescents today. She brings attention to the power that the media has and the importance of diverse and realistic representation.
My only critique is that it was a bit repetitive. But her message is so important that I truly didn’t mind.
I have nothing but respect for Keah, I cannot wait to see more of what she makes in the future.
