When I got older when I was 12, 11/12/13 and these kids were telling me, 'Don't let your dad pick you up. We can't let my parents know he's black. Don't tell them you're black'. I didn't tell my parents any of that because I knew at that point, that was gonna hurt them. You know, and so I didn't share that with them. Maybe I should have I don't know."In this distilled episode, Angie talks to Sarah Doneghy about the nuances of mixed race experience and being stereotyped as an angry black woman.Sarah Doneghy is an actor, writer, and performance artist.
