S1:E10 Color Struck [season finale]

“I could be beautiful in a place and still not enough, not because of who I was or anything I had done, but because of something as simple, and somehow as grand in this new place, as the color of my skin.” -Wayétu Moore, The Dragons, the Giant, the Women: A Memoir

The Highlights:
