Falling in Self Love: Days 139-142
What if I were WHITE?

or Latina or Indian or....  This week I had a chance to have photos taken of me in the Human Race Machine to see what I would look like as another race.  When I was little there where days I wondered what it would be like to be white.  Though I love the beautiful browness that is me, I'm diggin' me as Asian and Middle Eastern too! This was a fun experiment!

White Karen

Latina Karen

Middle Eastern Karen

Indian Karen

PS...I wonder what the world would be like if people could really SEE themselves as another race?  Would we treat each other with more fairness, love and compassion?  Would we, en masse, begin to truly see each other as EQUAL?

Thanks for saying that. I'm happy to be in my own brown skin and it was cool to try on the "shoes" of others.
