Societal forces that shaped her life as a black woman impact Paula’s life. She finds herself attempting to fit into a dominant white society. She describes events from childhood to present that contributed to her life experiences. She addresses her parents’ endeavors to teach her how to assimilate and to value the white culture in order to succeed in life. She finds herself concealing her cultural identify when she is in an all-white environment.

A hurtful childhood encounter shaped her mindset in believing being black was a negative attribute. As a four-year-old, she experienced a very negative situation, which launched the beginning of a trajectory that compelled her to transform her life, by assiduously working diligently to assimilate into a white society. She captivates the love and strong foundation of growing up in a black family. Yet the complexity of doing a “delicate dance” between two cultures was not without anguish.

Paula shares both her outward journey and her inward journey. Although she becomes a successful professional woman, it was fraught with experiencing emotional, mental, and psychological consequences.

A really nice pair of shoes
Size: 12 Wide, Color: Stucco
This is my second pair of Cole Haan shows and they're great. I waited until these were on sale so the price was amazing. The sizes run true and they fit perfectly. I have to purchase wide shoes because of my "boat feet"....lol They're very light so walking around all day is a lot easier They fit very well and are comfortable to wear, even right out of the box. The soles have solid traction. They look great and I get a lot of compliments at work when wearing them. For the price, fit and quality, I'll be buying more in different colors as they go on sale.
