Roxy Manning Writes: My enduring passion for nonviolent social justice is rooted in my life experiences which have transcended the many boxes and categories in which I was placed and allowed me to see how a diversity of truths can be present, and valid, at the same time. I grew up and lived my early life in suburban Trinidad where although I belonged racially, I did not always feel I belonged personally. When my family relocated to Harlem I became exposed to many new and often divergent realities: the neglect Global Majority students were facing in my neighborhood where we were the majority; the privileges of being labeled gifted and later attending well-resourced schools where most students didn’t look like me; the low expectations set when I attended a mostly Global Majority community college and the freedoms and support granted to me as a student in a top-tier college in upstate New York, where I was again a minority. These early experiences sparked a commitment in me to work for developing a society in which every person is truly valued, encouraged, and supported in their gifts, a world in which we all can belong.
