"It's interesting because I had a lot of resistance to becoming a mother," she told the publication."Throughout my life, I always said if I were to have children, I wanted to have Black, Black babies so that I could affirm them as children with the love that I felt I needed to have been affirmed with by the outside world."
Turner-Smith shared that, despite her own internal conflict, she embraced the fact that her daughter's journey would be unique. "Now that I've got this little, tiny, light-skinned boss, I feel like it's the universe teaching me lessons.
