      Being black and wanting to dress in an alternative fashion is very challenging in this society. There are so many stereotypes and expectations this culture puts on people of color. There is no room for these minorities to be their unique self and develop a personal style of their own. I have always wanted to dress differently since I was in 8th grade, but I didn't dare to do it. The image below is a drawing I made to visualize my struggles dealing with this issue. When focused on people’s judgment your afraid to show your true self and this can do a lot of damage to your mental state. This mentality is not sustainable. That's why I've decided to finally dress the way I want in my last year of high school. I will not be afraid of other people’s opinions. I will not let anyone but me decide who I am and what I should look like.
